New Zealand and Canada have become the poster children for how to deal with crises following swift, effective and compassionate reactions not just to Covid-19 but natural disasters, terrorism and extreme weather events.

Jacinda Ardern and Justin Trudeau’s styles of governing are characterised by camaraderie, empathy and transparency which aren’t the traditional pillars of leadership – but does this kind of good governing make it easier for good businesses to succeed?
