Women in Leadership: Stepping Away

Kimberly and Ashley Season 3 Episode 3

New Zealand’s prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, has said she is resigning, in an unexpected announcement that came as she confirmed a national election for October.

Ardern became the world’s youngest female head of government when she was elected prime minister in 2017 at 37. She has led New Zealand through the Covid-19 pandemic and a series of disasters, including the terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch and the White Island volcanic eruption.

Ashley and Kimberly openly discuss and debate women in leadership and how so many women have recently stepped down from their roles.
