Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who became a world leader at 37, shares 10 leadership tips in her memoir 'A Different Kind of Power.'
Ardern emphasizes the importance of saying yes before feeling fully prepared and allowing purpose to overcome fear.
She believes that leadership is about service, not status, and that empathy is a powerful trait, not a weakness.
Ardern acknowledges that traits like empathy and self-doubt, often seen as flaws, can actually be strengths that define effective leadership.
She highlights the significance of good listening skills and asserts that one does not need to be the loudest to lead effectively.
Despite facing criticism for not fitting the typical aggressive leadership mold, Ardern prioritized her values over conformity to stereotypes.
She also underlines the importance of perseverance in the face of failure and knowing when to step back, even from a leadership position.
