Jacinda Ardern
After five turbulent years as Prime Minister of New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern revealed on Friday that she will write a book about leadership that will be published worldwide.
Ardern, who turns 43 next month, stated in an Instagram post that she wanted to do something that would have inspired her 14-year-old self.
Ardern abruptly stepped out from politics in January, citing a lack of ‘enough in the tank’ to continue.
She had become increasingly unpopular at home, despite receiving considerable accolades aboard.
After nearly six months out of office, she still has millions of social media followers and is regarded by some as a future leader at the United Nations.
During her tenure, Ardern was in charge of responding to a right-wing terror attack in Christchurch, a catastrophic volcanic eruption, and the Covid-19 pandemic, which closed New Zealand’s borders for two years.
The former premier said she did not want to publish a book that hauled over the last five years of internal politics.
Ardern intends to write about how to be ‘your own kind of leader’.
“I hope that when it’s done, it’s the kind of book that would have made a difference to my 14-year-old self”, she continued.
She stated that there is currently no set release date.
Penguin, Macmillan, and Crown have picked up the project, making it available in the United States, as well as Australia, UK, and New Zealand.
Ardern will begin dual fellowships at Harvard University later this year.
