“I wanted to show that you could be human and could also be kind and decisive and a mother, imperfectly but still, I think, do a reasonable job.” BBC presenter Kylie Pentelow speaks to Dame Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s former Prime Minister about the importance of empathetic leadership in the time of populism and strongman politics. In 2017 Ardern became the youngest Prime Minister in the world at the time, and only the second ever to have a baby whilst in office. She was praised for her humane approach and leadership through crises such as the 2019 Christchurch terrorist attack that saw 51 killed. She swiftly brought in gun laws and reached out to the Muslim community targeted in the attack. In her 5 years in politics she was a champion of climate change and LGBGTQ and indigenous rights, but she was also criticised for some of the harsh lockdown measures that her government enacted during the pandemic. Since leaving politics, Jacinda Ardern has been engaging in global work focused on empathy in leadership, combatting climate change and the prevention of online extremism. She’s written books, including one about being a working mother, and she now stars in a documentary about her life entitled simply, Prime Minister. She’s currently a distinguished fellow and part of the World Leaders Circle at Oxford University. Thank you to the Woman’s Hour team for its help in making this programme.

Jacinda Ardern (former New Zealand Prime minister and author of the gripping account 'A Different Kind Of Power') joins Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt for an intimate and inspiring conversation about leadership, empathy, and the challenge of balancing global responsibility with motherhood. A new power of kindness and authenticity, leading with empathy. “I refuse to believe you cannot be both compassionate and strong,” Jacinda shares, echoing her hallmark approach to navigating tumultuous crises on the world stage. She recounts moments of self-doubt not as setbacks, but as signals to summon even greater courage in the service of others. “One of the criticisms I’ve faced over the years is that I’m not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I’m empathetic, I’m weak. I totally rebel against that.” Jacinda opens up about her time in office, reflecting on self-doubt, courage, and why kindness is one of the most powerful qualities a leader can have. Together, they explore navigating crises, finding joy in the everyday, and raising the next generation with compassion and purpose. Trust us...You’re gonna wanna hear this!

When Jacinda Ardern was thrown into the race for New Zealand’s prime ministry just months before the general election in 2017, she had no intention of even running for the position—but she knew it was her responsibility to become the leader her country needed. In this episode, Adam and Jacinda reflect on strategies for closing confidence gaps, discuss the importance of compassion in leadership, and break down a phenomenon that New Zealanders call “tall poppy syndrome.” They also look back on Jacinda’s most pivotal decisions, from steering the country through the COVID pandemic to stepping down as Prime Minister.

Chuck Todd reflects on his recent conversation with Steve Bannon and proposes his theory for what Donald Trump and his MAGA movement's populism is really tapping into not just in America, but as a global phenomenon. Chuck says that the Democrats have an opportunity to position themselves as an opposition party that taps into the American populace's skepticism of concentrated power, and that if the current Democratic leadership isn't equipped to navigate the moment, they could set themselves up to get steamrolled by Trumpism the same way that the George Bush and Mitt Romney wing of the Republican Party did. Chuck goes on to look at some of the races he's most excited for in 2026. Chuck Todd welcomes filmmakers Lindsay Utz and Michelle Walshe to discuss their documentary "Prime Minister," an intimate portrait of former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's extraordinary leadership during some of the most challenging moments in recent history. The film, built around Ardern's personal audio diaries that weren't meant to be released until after her death, chronicles her navigation through three defining crises: the Christchurch shooting, the COVID-19 pandemic, and giving birth while in office. The filmmakers had unprecedented access to Ardern, capturing her reflections on leading a nation through tragedy and global upheaval, while New Zealand became the first country to eradicate COVID-19 through decisive leadership and strong public health measures. The conversation explores the broader themes of the documentary, including the misogynistic backlash Ardern faced both for her COVID response and her decision to ban semi-automatic weapons after Christchurch. Utz and Walshe discuss the challenge of misinformation during the pandemic, the export of American political mistrust to other democracies, and how Ardern's millennial confidence shaped her leadership style. Despite her international popularity, the filmmakers reveal that Ardern has sworn off politics forever, making this documentary a crucial historical record of her tenure. The film serves as both a case study in crisis leadership and an inspiration for young women considering political careers, showcasing how Ardern became a global role model while navigating the unique pressures facing female leaders in the modern political landscape. Finally, he addresses listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment! 00:00 Introduction 03:50 Steve Bannon's theory about Trump & the global populist movement 06:10 Why Trump's character is a distraction for Democrats 08:10 Democrats' advantage as an outsider party 10:45 New Jersey gubernatorial race 14:30 Democratic Senate candidates popping up in Iowa 18:30 Minnesota Senate Democratic primary 20:45 New candidate alert in Georgia! 23:00 Louisiana getting rid of runoffs? 24:10 Mark Green stepping down in Tennesee 29:30 Lindsay Utz and Michelle Walshe join the Chuck Toddcast! 30:30 What was the origin story of their documentary “Prime Minister” 31:30 How often did they have access to Jacinda Ardern? 32:50 Ardern’s audio diaries weren’t supposed to be released until she died 34:00 Ardern showed extraordinary leadership after the Christchurch shooting 35:30 Adrern’s story wasn’t local and could resonate worldwide 37:30 Was Ardern surprised when reflecting on her diaries? 38:30 Ardern had to lead through 2 crises 39:30 The tentpoles of the documentary are Covid, Christchurch and giving birth in office 42:30 Great responsibility to get the story right due to historic nature 44:30 Was Arden’s book coordinated with the release of the documentary? 45:30 What was the hardest thing to leave out? 47:30 New Zealand’s great response to Covid relied on strong leadership 49:30 New Zealand was the first country to eradicate Covid 51:00 Citizens of every country blamed the

Title: A Different Kind of Power Author: Jacinda Ardern Narrator: Jacinda Ardern Format: mp3 Length: 12 hrs and 5 mins Release date: 06-03-25 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 3 ratings Genres: Women Publisher's Summary: 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.

Jacinda Ardern, hasta hace pocos meses ex primera ministra de Nueva Zelanda, destacó como líder durante los inicios de la pandemia de COVID-19. Mostró liderazgo y humanidad al adoptar una estrategia efectiva y solidaria para enfrentar la crisis, lo que permitió a los neozelandeses mantener su vida normal con breves cuarentenas y un control fronterizo estricto. Su enfoque inspiró a millones de personas en todo el mundo. Ardern, nacida en 1980, comenzó su carrera política a una edad temprana y llegó a liderar el Partido Laborista de Nueva Zelanda. En 2017, a los 37 años, se convirtió en la primera ministra más joven del país en más de 150 años. Durante su tiempo en el poder, se enfrentó a desafíos como los tiroteos masivos en dos mezquitas en 2019 y una explosión volcánica en Whakaari/White Island que cobró 22 vidas. Sin embargo, su enfoque compasivo y calmado recibió elogios. En respuesta a la pandemia, Ardern aplicó cierres de fronteras y confinamientos nacionales, lo que afectó la economía turística, pero logró contener con éxito la propagación del virus. A pesar de su exitosa gestión de la pandemia, Ardern enfrentó críticas y oposición debido a problemas económicos y sociales, así como resistencia a las vacunas y mandatos. En enero de 2023, anunció su renuncia. Ardern dejó un legado como líder carismática y feminista, abogando por la igualdad de género y enfrentando desafíos con optimismo y fortaleza. Su ejemplo sigue inspirando a muchas personas.

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Suze Wilson , is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Management at Massey University. She is passionate about all things leadership along with an abiding interest in how we can make organisations both effective for external stakeholders and enjoyable places to work for employees. Her doctoral research examined why and how it has become normalized in recent decades to equate 'leadership' with grandiose expectations of 'transformation', 'vision', and 'charisma'. She argues these ideas, when examined closely, actually create undesirable pressures on leaders, grant them excessive powers, and rely on the problematic assumption that 'followers' are inherently inadequate. She is interested in theorising and practising leadership in ways that are more inclusive and humble. Dr. Brad Jackson joined Waikato Management School as Associate Dean Strategic Engagement in May 2020. He currently serves as MBA Director and Professor of Leadership and Governance and is the Programme Director for the Community Enterprise Leadership Foundation Elevate programme. Jackson has published seven books—Management Gurus and Management Fashions, The Hero Manager, Organisational Behaviour in New Zealand, A Very Short, Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap Book About Studying Leadership, Demystifying Business Celebrity, Revitalising Leadership, and The Board as the Nexus Between Leadership and Governance and Responsible Leadership in Corporate Governance. He also co-edited the Sage Handbook of Leadership and Major Works in Leadership.

Especially in times of crisis and with our modern media and online environment, every statement and every move a leader makes is subject to extensive scrutiny and commentary." - Suze Wilson "The awful phrase that always haunts me in leadership is 'we get the leaders we deserve.'
