Good political leadership requires acumen, decisiveness – and empathy. Jacinda Ardern, former prime minister of New Zealand, built her career with empathy at its core. And during the 5 ½ years that she led her country, Ardern demonstrated that value repeatedly, from strong COVID-19 protections to fast tightening of gun laws following attacks on mosques.
Now a fellow at Harvard and a role model to many, Ardern will reflect on what it’s like to make hard but compassionate policy choices under a global spotlight.
