NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠From the former
prime minister of New Zealand, then the worldâs youngest female head of
government and just the second to give birth in office, comes a deeply personal
memoir chronicling her extraordinary rise and offering inspiration to a new
generation of leaders.
âA clear and compelling case for compassion . . . an implicit repudiation of
the strongman style of leadership that has taken hold around the world.ââThe
Washington Post
What if we could redefine leadership? What if kindness came first? Jacinda
Ardern grew up the daughter of a police officer in small-town New Zealand, but
as the 40th Prime Minister of her country, she commanded global respect for her
empathetic leadership that put people first. This is the remarkable story of
how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt made political history and changed our
assumptions of what a global leader can be.
When Jacinda Ardern became Prime Minister at age thirty-seven, the world took
notice. But it was her compassionate yet powerful response to the 2019
Christchurch mosque attacks, resulting in swift and sweeping gun control laws,
that demonstrated her remarkable leadership. She guided her country through
unprecedented challengesâa volcanic eruption, a major biosecurity breach, and a
global pandemicâwhile advancing visionary new policies to address climate
change, reduce child poverty, and secure historic international trade deals.
She did all this while juggling first-time motherhood in the public eye.
Ardern exemplifies a new kind of leadershipâproving that leaders can be caring,
empathetic, and effective. She has become a global icon, and now she is ready
to share her story, from the struggles to the surprises, including for the
first time the full details of her decision to step down during her sixth year
as Prime Minister.
Through her personal experiences and reflections, Jacinda is a model for anyone
who has ever doubted themselves, or has aspired to lead with compassion, conviction,
and courage. A Different Kind of Power is more than a
political memoir; itâs an insight into how it feels to lead, ultimately asking:
What if you, too, are capable of more than you ever imagined?
About the Author
The Right Honourable Dame Jacinda Ardern was elected the 40th Prime Minister of New Zealand at the age of thirty-seven, becoming the countryâs youngest Prime Minister in more than 150 years.
Since leaving office, Ardern has established the Field Fellowship on empathetic leadership.
She is a Senior Fellow at Harvard University, continues to work on climate action, and is the Patron of the Christchurch Call to Action to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online.
Ardern also works on a number of projects that support women and girls, but considers her greatest roles to be those she will hold for life, including that of mum and proud New Zealander.
