How do you lead when everything is in flux—when you don’t have all the answers, and your team is looking to you for certainty? In this high-impact session, Lei Wang brings stories from the edge—facing -50°F winds in Antarctica and life-or-death decisions on Mount Everest—and translates them into practical strategies for HR leaders navigating today’s workplace.
