A Different Kind of Power

Das Buch der Stunde! Jacinda Ardern - Ex-Premierministerin von Neuseeland: Eine Ikone des Female Empowerment erzählt von ihrem Weg an die Macht. Ein Buch für alle, die nach einer anderen Art des politischen und gesellschaftlichen Miteinanders suchen.Sie revolutionierte unsere Vorstellung davon, was eine Politikerin ausmacht. Sie gilt als Hoffnungsträgerin, Mutmacherin, Verfechterin von Empathie und Gerechtigkeit: Jacinda Ardern, ehemalige Premierministerin von Neuseeland. Bereits mit 37 Jahren schrieb sie Geschichte, als sie 2017 die jüngste weibliche Regierungschefin der Welt wurde und als zweite Frau überhaupt während ihrer Amtszeit ein Kind zur Welt brachte. Heute ist sie eine weltweite Ikone. Erstmals erzählt sie in diesem sehr persönlichen Memoir von ihrem außergewöhnlichen Aufstieg. Und stellt dabei die entscheidenden Fragen der Zukunft: Welche Art von politischer Führung wollen wir? Schließen sich Mitgefühl und Stärke tatsächlich aus?Jacinda Ardern wuchs in einfachen Verhältnissen als Tochter eines Polizeibeamten in einer neuseeländischen Kleinstadt auf. Eine von Selbstzweifeln geplagte junge Frau, die über sich hinauswuchs und als Premierministerin ihre außergewöhnliche Führungsstärke unter Beweis stellte. Ihre empathische und zugleich energische Reaktion auf den Terroranschlag in Christchurch im Jahr 2019 fand weltweit Anerkennung. Jacinda Ardern lenkte ihr Land durch nie da gewesene Herausforderungen - einen Vulkanausbruch, eine nationale Krise in der Landwirtschaft, eine globale Pandemie - und verwirklichte gleichzeitig eine visionäre neue Politik zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels, zur Verringerung der Kinderarmut und zur Sicherung internationaler Handelsabkommen. All dies, während sie zum ersten Mal Mutter wurde und mit größter Selbstverständlichkeit Mutterschaft und öffentliches Amt vereinte.Mit ihren ganz persönlichen Erfahrungen und Erkenntnissen ermutigt sie alle, die über sich hinauswachsen und mit Überzeugung, Mitgefühl und Mut vorangehen wollen. 'A Different Kind of Power' ist mehr als ein politisches Memoir - es vermittelt ein Gefühl dafür, was es wirklich bedeutet, zu führen, und stellt die Frage: Was, wenn ich zu mehr fähig bin, als ich mir jemals habe vorstellen können?Ausstattung: 8-seitiger Bildteil, 4-farbig
