After #JacindaAdern comes #NicolaSturgeon - two women who led their countries through difficult times and admit that it has taken its toll.

I take my hats off to those women. Thank you for serving as such great examples of what politicians *can* be like.

“…You can be kind, but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused.” Nice to see a politician speaking about kindness and empathy. More of it. #JacindaAdern

I was asked for a comment today for a piece on #burnout at Reward Strategy following #JacindaAdern's resignation, in which she said she 'no longer have enough in the tank' to continue in her role. My comment is included in the story below. #wellbeing #mentalhealth #worklifebalance #workplace https://lnkd.in/gjqWGvCM

I'm sorry #TuckerCarlson, but I think #JacindaAdern is cute AF 🤷‍♂️

#JacindaAdern

In D laufen derweil Politiker vorzugsweise nur noch mit Phrasen und Populismus erfüllt herum, aber nicht mehr mit wahrhaftiger und überzeugender demokratischer Haltung und ohne erkennbare Demut gegenüber dem Amt , dem Bürger oder gar der Natur und gebärden sich als konservative oder liberale Parteiführer.

In wachsem Ausmaß die vorgestrigen Konservativen beglücken uns mit solchen Knallchargen.

If Jacinda Adern says she does not have enough in the tank to press on, then SCOMO was running on empty for decades. I know which one is better, too! #auspol #scomo #jacindaadern

‘Hope I leave you with a belief,
that you can be kind but strong,
empathetic but decisive,
optimistic but focused,
that you can be your own kind of leader’

#JacindaAdern tritt zurück.
Mit ebenso viel Bedauern, wie Verständnis und Respekt, habe ich von ihrer Entscheidung gehört.
Jacinda Adern hat Maßstäbe gesetzt.
Von Herzen alles Gute, für die Zukunft.

Sorry to hear that #jacindaadern is standing down from leadership… what a fantastic job she has done. #NewZealand

@Homo_viator
#jacindaadern global influence will be sadly missed, certainly by me. 😥

In my ideal world, #JacindaAdern is resigning to come and take over in the UK!

As #JacindaAdern resigns, never forget the leadership she showed in keeping her people alive in the pandemic when compared to the sorry excuse of a PM the UK suffered. Thousands died because of his incompetence. #COVID19 #BorisJohnson #r4today

#Goedemorgen iedereen 😘
Donderdag 19 januari 2023. #JacindaAdern, premier van Nieuw-Zeeland kondigde aan te zullen stoppen. Wereldwijd oogstte ze lof voor haar aanpak van crisissen. Democratie op zijn best. 👏👏👏
Geniet van deze donderdag ❤️

Women & femme-identifying ppl of Mastodon. I want to write an article about why the resignation of #JacindaAdern has hit many of us so very hard. I suspect there's a lot of layers to it - seeing a different leadership style finally on the political stage, the stark contrast to the lack of kindness & empathy that characterises so much male leadership. Younger generations seeing themselves and their values finally represented on the global stage.

If you have a view on this, please share below!

Devastated to hear that #JacindaAdern is resigning as NZ PM. She has shown the world that leadership with empathy is not only possible but mandatory. She has been an incredible example for women and girls of the value of kindness. In a world filled with sociopathic and psychopathic male leaders she was a shining example that another world is possible.

I’m more heartbroken than I can explain but whatever she does next, I know she’ll continue to be incredible force for good in the world.

Jacinda Ardern has announced she will quit as New Zealand prime minister next month, saying she no longer has "enough in the tank" to lead.

Ms Ardern choked up as she detailed how six "challenging" years in the job had taken a toll.

She will step down as Labour Party leader no later than 7 February. There will be a vote in the coming days to determine her replacement.

New Zealand will hold a general election on 14 October.

Ms Ardern, 42, said she had taken time to consider her future over the summer break.

"I had hoped that I would find what I needed to carry on over that period but, unfortunately, I haven't, and I would be doing a disservice to New Zealand to continue," she told reporters.
