Undeniably, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s response to the Christchurch mosque massacres will be remembered as one of strength, courage and above all, compassionate and humane. Across the globe, people of diverse faiths and persuasions have voiced praise for the way Jacinda Ardern has shown herself to be an exemplar of a recontextualised leadership. A leadership that demonstrates inclusion, respect and empathy for all. They see her as an image of hope (McNeilly, 2019; Small, 2019). What are the leadership lessons that can be learnt from Ardern’s responses and actions? This lecture discusses some of the most salient characteristics of Ardern’s recontextualised leadership, and the lessons that can be learnt from it.
