.Appears the people of NZ disagree, she couldn't form a government without a coalition, this is what the New Zealand Herald thinks of her....... Ardern is charismatic, she smiles a lot, she nods a lot, she says inspirational things and you want to believe her.
But slowly it's being undone. The Empress has no clothes. She lacks commercial and interpersonal acumen. She is not a natural leader, she's indecisive and farms things out too much _ reports, reviews, committees, working groups.
On the big issues she sits on the fence. Even on the small ones she says she will "take advice".
What's worse is that this week it seems she lacks genuine empathy. She runs a seemingly inept inner circle – her office is shambolic.
She's no CEO but she would make a great Head of Marketing and Communications – a lot of talk – a lot of PR, no substance.
Not transformational, not open honest and transparent, not decisive, not even aware of what's going on within her own party.
Brought to the table with so much fanfare and goodwill, Ardern has proceeded to do not a lot more than work the international stage, appoint working groups and let others decide things.
She's "listening" she keeps telling us. Well that's all well and good but sometimes a leader has to act.
