New Book Reveals Strategies for Turning Disruptions into Opportunities in an Uncertain World

“Crisis and Renewal: Reflections on Leadership, Empathy, and Resilience by a Global Entrepreneur from Taiwan” by S. Steven Pan is released with Forbes Books.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, December 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- "Crisis and Renewal: Reflections on Leadership, Empathy, and Resilience by a Global Entrepreneur from Taiwan" by S. Steven Pan is now available on Amazon and at major booksellers. The book is published with Forbes Books, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes.

In "Crisis and Renewal," global entrepreneur and hospitality visionary S. Steven Pan presents a poignant human portrait of leadership under pressure. Pan guides readers through building organizations that not only endure crises but emerge stronger from them.

After three decades spent at the helm of Regent Taipei and Silks Hotel Group, Pan reveals how empathy, purpose, and adaptability form the foundation of sustainable success. Whether facing earthquakes, financial collapse, or the global pandemic, Pan’s approach—anchored in the belief that leaders must treat others as they wish to be treated—transformed each challenge into a catalyst for reinvention.

“'Crisis and Renewal' is a story of courage and transformation. Steven Pan’s journey resonates far beyond business—it speaks to the human spirit,” said Academy Award Winner and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador, Michelle Yeoh.

Part memoir, part leadership manifesto, "Crisis and Renewal" illuminates how leaders can turn disruption into transformation. Rooted in both Eastern and Western traditions, the book blends Taiwanese resilience with global insight to offer a framework for what Pan calls “human-centered leadership”—a philosophy that prioritizes people, values, and long-term vision over short-term gain.

Readers will discover how empathy fosters trust, how crises reveal character, and how purpose drives innovation. For entrepreneurs, executives, and changemakers navigating today’s uncertainty, Pan’s reflections are an invitation to lead with compassion, clarity, and courage.
