<p>Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern recently announced her plans to write a book, emphasising leadership over politics.</p>

<p>In an Instagram post, Ardern addressed the inquiries she often receives about whether she will document her five-year tenure as New Zealand's leader, as reported by the Associated Press.</p>

<p>Initially hesitant to delve into internal politics, Ardern's perspective shifted after being convinced that she could expand on the idea of being a unique leader who can still make a difference. This upcoming book aims to inspire and resonate with readers beyond the realm of politics, focusing on personal leadership and the potential for positive change.</p>

<h2><strong>Exploring a different angle of leadership</strong></h2>

<p>Ardern expressed her desire to deviate from the conventional approach of scrutinising internal political dynamics throughout her time as Prime Minister.</p>

<p>Instead, she intends to delve into the aspects she discussed during her valedictory speech, emphasising the notion that individuals can be their own kind of leaders while still effecting meaningful change.</p>

<p>By shifting the focus from politics to leadership, Ardern aims to present a broader perspective that inspires readers to discover their own unique paths towards making a difference.</p>
