When Jacinda Ardern was thrown into the race for New Zealand’s prime ministry just months before the general election in 2017, she had no intention of even running for the position—but she knew it was her responsibility to become the leader her country needed. In this episode, Adam and Jacinda reflect on strategies for closing confidence gaps, discuss the importance of compassion in leadership, and break down a phenomenon that New Zealanders call “tall poppy syndrome.” They also look back on Jacinda’s most pivotal decisions, from steering the country through the COVID pandemic to stepping down as Prime Minister.FollowHost: Adam Grant (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamgrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adamgrant</a> | LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammgrant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adammgrant</a> | Website: <a href="http://adamgrant.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">adamgrant.net/</a>) Guest: Jacinda Ardern (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jacindaardern/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jacindaardern</a>)Links<a href="https://linktr.ee/JacindaArdernBook?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafi6WK5_OeLmJy_CGONnLBIJ6eyq28ht4aQh5TF8sgU0O_ZOjltChnbiCFJ_g_aem_C1HIVjc5DoKDX6ikWdi-iQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Preorder</a> A Different Kind of Power by Jacinda ArdernSubscribe to TED&nbsp;Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ted/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @ted</a>YouTube:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @TED</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @tedtoks</a>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @ted-conferences</a>Website:<a href="https://ted.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> ted.com</a>Podcasts:<a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts</a>For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts</a>Want to help shape TED’s shows going forward?
