Ardern has run her race as prime minister and will spend her peak years living on her own terms
Jacinda Ardern’s resignation as New Zealand prime minister invites lessons on the leadership needed in society today and knowing when to step down .
What might also deepen Ardern’s legacy is the timing of her resignation. After six years in office and steering New Zealand through the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic, one may have expected Ardern to run another lap in office and seek re-election. Ardern’s resignation speech was delivered with an honesty and vulnerability rarely seen among world leaders. She admitted that she did not have enough left in the tank to continue another term as prime minister. This was a welcome admission by a leader in a world where many leaders hold on to power long past their sell by dates.
