Joni Kovac, EVP, Chief Human Resources Officer at Mitsubishi HC Capital, believes the best approach to mentoring is an informal one. She coaches her team by listening and discussing what they need to be as successful as possible in their roles. Her guidance ranges from business strategy to navigating difficult conversations and setting boundaries. Kovac believes being available and approachable is vitally important, and she is a trusted resource for people at all levels of the company. She says, “Giving back by mentoring the younger generation is a responsibility I think all seasoned leaders have; none of us succeed without the help of those who’ve come before us.” This commitment to supporting talent is a core part of her leadership.
