Leading in a Time of Crisis: Global Warning

April 7, 2020  • Aspen Global Leadership Network

For many global companies, the spread of COVID-19 has meant growing disruptions to global supply chains and major hits to their operations without a clear end in sight. Business leaders in China have been at the forefront of the response, and they face tough decisions that put their values and resolves to the test.

Watch our webinar of two leaders in the Aspen Global Leadership Network, Jane Sun, CEO of Trip.com, and Shane Tedjarati, President of Global High Growth Regions at Honeywell, as they shared how they are leading through this crisis and what we might learn from their experiences.

We ask them: What trade-offs do you make when trying to do what’s right for your consumers, employees, and communities? As markets falter and the impact grows, how do you stay focused? Can we find a silver lining in the gloom?
