At the heart of Chick-fil-A’s iconic culture is a simple but consistent focus on studying and developing good leaders.   In our newest episode of Let Go & Lead, Maril dives in with Mark Miller, the former Vice President of High Performance Leadership at Chick-fil-A. Rising from an hourly employee at a local branch to a member of the executive team, Miller was there as the company first began to study what it takes to be an effective leader. He was also there leading the charge as they worked to scale what they'd found.  Watch the episode now, or listen wherever you get your podcasts! #culture #leadership #employeeexperience

On 7 July (Sunday), eligible voters in Tokyo cast ballots in several contests that were viewed as bellwethers for Japan’s ruling and opposition parties—and the fate of Prime Minister Kishida. Taken as a whole, the results reinforce recent polling that suggest an erosion of public trust for Japan’s traditional parties. With leadership contests set for the fall, APCO’s team in Japan will continue to track the prospect of a snap election and other implications.   Additional context: - The primary contest for governor saw a crowded field of 56 candidates, of which 3 emerged as most likely/viable: * KOIKE Yuriko: An incumbent governor with her own political brand and the backing of both of the national rulings parties, the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito;  * RENHOU: A former leader within the Constitutional Democratic Party, running as an independent but with support of multiple opposition parties; and * ISHIMARU Shinji: A youthful, political newcomer with a rapidly growing social profile resulting from his public actions as mayor of a small city in Hiroshima prefecture. - Nine constituencies also voted to fill vacancies in the Tokyo Assembly, and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party fielded candidates in 8 of these contests.
