New Zealand ex-PM Ardern to teach leadership in Sydney
Jacinda Ardern initially joined Harvard University in the US after retiring from politics in 2023 before moving for a new job at the University of Sydney.
Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is set to impart her expertise in empathetic leadership at the University of Sydney. Ardern, 46, gained global recognition for her adept management of the Covid-19 pandemic in New Zealand, although her popularity within the country waned as pandemic restrictions were imposed. In a statement, Ardern expressed her enthusiasm about joining the University of Sydney, highlighting her current focus on leadership and its role in addressing global challenges.
She has taken up a position as a Professor of Practice, commencing this month, and will be delivering guest lectures, leading masterclasses, and providing mentorship. Ardern's responsibilities will encompass the areas of empathetic leadership, social cohesion, and civic trust, with a goal to innovate global and values-based leadership strategies.
Despite her international acclaim as a progressive political figure, Ardern faced a decline in support at home during her final tenure, influenced by economic challenges and the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.
