Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced her upcoming book, which will focus primarily on leadership rather than politics. In a recent Instagram post, Ardern addressed the inquiries about whether she would write about her five-year tenure as New Zealand’s leader. Initially hesitant, she eventually reconsidered after realizing that she could delve into topics discussed in her valedictory speech, such as the concept of forging a distinct leadership style while making a meaningful impact. While Ardern did not provide a specific publication date, she expressed her aspiration for the book to be the kind that would have influenced her younger self.

Ardern, who ascended to the prime minister’s position at the age of 37 in 2017, gained international recognition as a prominent figure on the left. Her surprising decision to step down in January, citing insufficient energy reserves to fulfill her duties during an election year, stunned New Zealanders. Subsequently, she revealed her plans to undertake temporary dual fellowships at Harvard University’s Kennedy School and assumed an unpaid role in combating online extremism.

Recently, Ardern received a distinguished honor in New Zealand for her exceptional leadership during a mass shooting and the COVID-19 pandemic. She was bestowed the title of Dame Grand Companion, granting her the esteemed recognition of Dame Jacinda. Ardern is collaborating with various publishers—Penguin in New Zealand and Australia, Macmillan in Britain, and Crown in the United States—although the publishers have yet to comment on the matter.
