Recently I started reading a biography of New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern. She is an incredible woman and I respect and admire her leadership.
There s nothing insightful to say that she s someone worth taking leadership lessons from. She is a great role-model for all people.
I don t want to talk about Ardern today. Instead, I want to shine a spotlight on the person who was instrumental in Ardern s ascension to Prime Minister. I didn t realise this until I started reading Ardern s biography (although this was not a secret at all!).
Just less than two months before the election, then Labour leader, Andrew Little, resigned to allow Ardern, who was the deputy-leader at the time, to take position as Labour s leader. The rest is history.
