M&T Bank's Rene Jones and Pinnacle Group's Nina Vaca share how their personal experiences shaped their leadership mentality.
Growing up the son of an African-American father and Belgian mother, Jones' says his siblings spanned the skin tone spectrum and he often faced stereotyping in every community he joined.
"We often think of stereotypes as things that are negative, but I think there's an opportunity to turn those around into a really positive opportunity," said Jones, during an interview at CNBC's Equity and Opportunity Forum on Thursday. "Oftentimes, when people don't expect you to do something is the best time when you can step up and deliver."
The question of how to build community becomes all the more complicated as companies cope with ways to integrate hybrid and fully remote workers in the ever-changing work landscape fractured by Covid-19. Vaca said good leadership stems from speaking to people with different opinions and role-modeling vulnerability when you don't know the answer.
