Empathetic leadership will be taught at the university by Jacinda Ardern

Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will teach "empathetic leadership" at the University of Sydney. Although not taking a full-time position, she will deliver lectures and mentor students. Ardern served as Prime Minister from 2017 until January 2023, during which she faced significant challenges, including the Christchurch mosque attack and the COVID-19 pandemic. Her leadership style, characterized by kindness and effectiveness, helped New Zealand manage the pandemic successfully. However, her popularity declined towards the end of her term due to economic pressures and restrictions. Ardern announced her resignation in January 2023 and moved to Sydney with her family earlier this year.
