Small Steps to Big Summits: Persistence and Imperfection in Mountains and Boardrooms

By: Lee, Jane

Singapore's highest point is a hill you could accidentally walk over while scrolling on your phone. It was an unlikely place for Jane Lee to begin a career climbing the tallest peak on every continent-- the Seven Summits. Running out of oxygen near the summit of Mount Everest, evading Russian soldiers, and retreating from polar bears were just some of the occupational hazards she faced along the way. An adventurer-turned-management consultant, Lee reflects on two decades of pursuing ambitions without a map across expeditions, the corporate life, and the quieter grind in between. She dismantles tidy success narratives to show that meaningful progress comes not from fearlessness or flawless planning, but the glorious art of stumbling forward.
