For me, it’s also been about the progress,” she said. “The decision was my own,” Ardern said. However, she added: “I am not leaving because it was hard. You cannot and should not do the job unless you have a full tank, plus a bit in reserve for those unplanned and unexpected challenges.”

"She went from this unifying force to this incredibly polarizing and divisive force," said Cormack, also the former Green Party head of communications and policy, said. "And I think her consensus approach helped with this, but at the same time, she wasn't immune to these bigger geopolitical trends."

Less than three months later, Ardern brought the baby, Neve Te Aroha, to the U.N. "Because two women meet, it’s not simply because of their gender." Ardern received worldwide praise for her response to the Christchurch attacks, which she labelled terrorism. Hours after being appointed Labour Party leader, she was asked whether she planned to have children. "And that you can be your own kind of leader - one who knows when it’s time to go." She remains, however, more popular that her rivals.

The New Zealand prime minister's decision to resign is a powerful sign of critical issues with leadership, burnout and expectations.

The leaders in Ireland today, those who have made it to the top and took the time to reflect through this study, have a clear message: something has to give. We need to reflect on this and ask why she felt the need to pre-empt media and public scrutiny by stating it was not her inability to do the job, cope with the pace of work or deliver on her party’s agenda. Progressive leaders today want a more sustainable approach to leadership, one that is more holistic, human-centred and humble; one that is focused more on followers and sharing leadership broadly. Please review their details and accept them to load the content. While we can dismiss this lack of interest in the hard work of leadership as snowflake-syndrome, the leaders interviewed here don’t do that. The majority of leaders in this study work a 50 to 60 hour week. Furthermore, the study found that 77% of leaders in Ireland today believe they take on ‘extra risk’ when they step up to lead with 75% seeing leadership as a ‘personal risk’. However, the need to comply with a plethora of important (and in past decades much neglected) financial, legislative, quality, security, ethical, GDPR, HR, hybrid working etc. In addition, 33% of the 299 leaders surveyed for the [Sustainable Leadership for a Post-Digital Age](https://www.ul.ie/media/30203/download?inline=) report believe their future career lies outside of their organisation.

There’s a greater weight of responsibility, a greater vulnerability amongst the people, and so in many ways, I think that will be what sticks with me,” she said. New Zealand Opposition Leader Christopher Luxon said Ardern had been a strong ambassador for the country on the world stage. Ardern was [widely praised for her empathy](/article/f80e79bb61ba460695b308c5552f83ef) with survivors and New Zealand’s wider Muslim community in the aftermath. “She has demonstrated that empathy and insight are powerful leadership qualities,” Albanese tweeted. “Her treatment, the pile on, in the last few months has been disgraceful and embarrassing,” wrote actor Sam Neill on Twitter. “All the bullies, the misogynists, the aggrieved.

[Just 37 when she became leader](/article/9387e2bf316b41f5906769cc35bcd340), Ardern was praised around the world for her handling of the nation’s worst-ever mass shooting and the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic. Her approach to the pandemic earned the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump, and she pushed back against wildly exaggerated claims from Trump about the spread of COVID-19 after he said there was a massive outbreak and “It’s over for New Zealand. Ardern became an inspiration to women around the world after first winning the top job in 2017. But she faced mounting political pressures at home and a level of vitriol from some that hadn’t been experienced by previous New Zealand leaders.

Newstalk Breakfast presenters Ciara Kelly and Shane Coleman have clashed over the legacy of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

“I have a problem with that touchy-feely approach. For me, it is the politics of perception, not the politics of reality. “I do not hate Jacinda Ardern. “I’m not a fan of Jacinda Ardern,” said Shane. “It’s too touchy-feely for me. “I think both of those things - that fact that you don’t like her, you don’t like her style of politics and the fact that she has stepped down in quite an unusual move for a senior politician and a world leader - are down to the fact that she’s a woman,” she said.

She became the second woman to give birth while in office when she had her daughter Neve in 2018. "I know there will be much discussion in the aftermath of this decision as to what the so-called 'real' reason was. We give all that we can, for as long as we can, and then it's time. As I went in I clocked the PM walking out with then baby Neve in a pram, security detail subtly trailing her. In May 2020, riding high on the success of COVID restrictions, her approval rating was 59.5%. Her approach was to go hard, and to go early. The conservative National party increased its lead over Labour - 38% to 33% - and strong support for libertarian party ACT indicated the two right-wing parties could easily form a coalition. Her response was one of compassion and swift action. Politicians are human. Jacinda Ardern will step down as New Zealand prime minister in February. Responding to the poll at the time, she said it was a "difficult time to be in government" but stressed that she and Labour had "experience of tough times". Her leadership has been characterised by crisis management.

The New Zealand prime minister showed us a different way to lead, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff.

She wanted to show that there was a different way to lead, and she did so; at the height of her powers she made the world sit up and watch. To everything there is a season, and Ardern is saying that hers is passing. Her resignation speech sounded more like a recognition that leadership is by definition a finite process; that power is a series of impossibly tough choices, each of which inevitably involves burning some capital, until eventually there’s simply no more match to burn. Think of Donald Trump and his towering ego, so incapable of accepting the democratic verdict of the people that he [whipped up a mob](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/dec/23/jan-6-panel-final-report-trump-capitol-attack) to storm the Capitol. By bowing out now, she is perhaps recognising not only that she has exhausted her own reserves but that her party’s best chance of retaining power this autumn may be under a leader free from the painful baggage she had accumulated over the last few years. If Ardern has felt painfully torn at times – and it’s a rare mother in a demanding job who doesn’t – then she didn’t spell that out in her leaving speech. And so Ardern becomes that rarest of unicorns, a politician with the emotional intelligence to jump instead of waiting to be pushed. She caught the millennial mood with her unifying response to a [terror attack in Christchurch](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/19/the-key-moments-of-jacinda-ardern-time-as-prime-minister-of-nz-new-zealand) and, with her appeal to New Zealanders to “ [be strong, and be kind](https://www.1news.co.nz/2020/03/17/be-strong-be-kind-we-will-be-ok-pms-message-in-face-of-coronavirus-impact/)” as they faced the Covid storm, she became the standard bearer for a gentler, more empathic model of leadership. [Boris Johnson scrabbling around](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/07/25/boris-johnson-tells-friend-dont-want-resign-will-stay-tory-members/) in the dirt last summer, clinging so stubbornly to his irrevocably stained premiership that even when he finally and grudgingly resigned, some wondered aloud if he really meant it. Like everyone else, New Zealanders are feeling the inflationary pinch, and polls suggest that her party will struggle in this year’s general election. So it is testament to Jacinda Ardern’s enduring skills that she has made it look almost easy. One of the hardest things in life is knowing when to stop.

Although she did not specifically use the phrase "burnout", a leading psychologist said this was "absolutely what she was alluding to".

Jacinda Ardern, citing burnout, resigned as Prime Minister of New Zealand on Thursday after nearly six years on the job.

With a [new mandate](https://www.ft.com/content/ccfc8195-aa97-4845-b16b-4f0762a168ed), Ardern appointed eight women, five indigenous Maori ministers, and a gay deputy prime minister. “We are living in an increasingly polarized world, a place where more and more people have lost the ability to see one another’s point of view. Ardern also followed in the rare footsteps of Pakistan’s late Prime Minister Beneazir Bhutto, when she [gave birth](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-44568537) while in office in 2018. Now I’m asking you to do everything you can to protect all of us. I hope that this election, New Zealand has shown that this is not who we are. He is a criminal. He is a terrorist. “It takes courage and strength to be empathetic, and I’m very proudly an empathetic and compassionate leader. That she doesn’t have any sense of what girls can or can’t do. And that you can be your own kind of leader – one who knows when it’s time to go.” “I hope that she doesn’t feel any limitations. We give all that we can for as long as we can, and then it’s time.”

'The difference you have made is immeasurable,' says Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.

“I understand that she needs rest, and I wish her all the best in her life.” I’d be doing a disservice to New Zealand if I continued,” she told her party’s annual caucus meeting. “Her treatment, the pile-on, in the last few months has been disgraceful and embarrassing. Ardern became the world’s youngest female head of government when she was elected prime minister in 2017 at 37. On Thursday, Clark said she was deeply saddened by the news of her resignation. She has demonstrated that empathy and insight are powerful leadership qualities.”

Five years ago she became the second world leader to give birth while in office. Now, the New Zealand prime minister plans to step down.

No, none of that meant that she wasn’t up to the task. But if you prefer the optimistic take, the other lesson was that if citizens are willing to accept flexibility in how their leaders get the job done then they can have a leader like Jacinda Ardern. The article also misspelled the first name of Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin. “If I didn’t go, I imagine there would have been equal criticism,” she told the New Zealand Herald at the time, explaining the careful analysis that had gone into her decision. Could her global fans even name her accomplishments, or were we merely mesmerized by a leader who seemed to want to do things differently? What I remember mostly was the debate that raged over her breastfeeding choices.

Ardern says she slept soundly 'for the first time in a long time,' as colleagues in New Zealand deplore her treatment as prime minister.

Their caucus will meet on Sunday to vote on candidates for a new leader. And for me, it’s time,” she said. In her resignation announcement on Thursday, Ardern was asked how threats to her safety had played into her decision. The protests, coupled with increased threats and abuse against the prime minister and other MPs, prompted New Zealand’s typically open and accessible parliament to up security measures. While police could not determine motives for every individual threat, documents they released showed anti-vaccination sentiment was a driving force of a number of threats, and opposition to legislation to regulate firearms after the 15 March mass shooting in Christchurch was another factor. “Our society could now usefully reflect on whether it wants to continue to tolerate the excessive polarisation which is making politics an increasingly unattractive calling.”

Ms Ardern will be missed by the Council of World Women Leaders since she was its most prominent member following the retirement of Angela Merkel. Yet Ms Ardern has been a star from the moment she emerged in 2017, aged just 37, as prime minister of a coalition government. She may well have written her own epitaph already: "Someone who always tried to be kind". Ms Ardern was only the second female head of government, after the late Benazir Bhutto, to give birth while in office. Either way, she's sure of a lasting place as a star in the political firmament. In December of that year, she had an equally strong and inclusive message when 21 people, many foreign tourists, were killed when the Whakaari volcano erupted on White Island. In the 2020 election, her popularity converted her coalition with other parties into an unprecedented overall majority for Labour in New Zealand's proportional representation system. Ms Ardern's two terms in power have been action-packed, as she noted: "We encountered a... In the meantime, the New Zealand Labour Party will choose a new leader. She is New Zealand's third woman prime minister, following Jenny Shipley and the long-serving Helen Clark, who Ms Ardern worked for. She slapped down reporters who suggested she was holding the first ever New Zealand bilateral with the Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin because they were both young women. Ms Ardern also announced that she was calling a general election for 14 October this year.

New Zealand's leader says she has a "sense of relief" as her party prepares to anoint a successor.

Mr Hipkins, 44, led the government's response to the pandemic after being appointed minister for Covid-19 in November 2020. Other potential candidates include Minister of Justice Kiri Allan, 39. She will step down by 7 February and Labour Party MPs will hold a leadership vote on Sunday.

Political commentators say there are several current ministers, including Kiri Allan and Chris Hipkins, who are potential candidates for the top job.

In December, the government announced [an inquiry](https://apnews.com/article/health-business-new-zealand-covid-economy-ed4548f52efc3740b9bd0cd19a9e40cc) into its own response. “Whoever it is that takes over on Sunday,” Shaw says, “this person’s job is to minimize the loss and then … Those issues mean that whoever becomes the next Prime Minister may not be in office long, with some experts predicting a backlash against the center-left Labour Party.

But his ties to the pandemic response may also be problematic, as some in New Zealand have been intensely critical of the strict approach. The country won praise for its quick response and elimination strategy—which relied heavily on scientific advice and which, boosted by clear communication, meant New Zealand had one of the lowest COVID-19 mortality rates in the world. That includes Kiri Allan, the minister for justice, who if elected would become the country’s first openly gay leader and its first prime minister of Māori descent. “I don’t know that Allan would want to put herself forward for that.” They’ll have to contend with a slew of domestic issues that had taken a toll on Ardern’s domestic popularity, like soaring house prices and inflation. But Robertson has ruled himself out, as has deputy party leader Kelvin Davis.
