    S2E19, Rick Ching, Servco Pacific Inc.
    Nov 30 2023
    For Rick Ching, the senior advisor and global mobility board director of Servco Pacific, fostering servant leadership and advocating for inclusivity was all part of the journey. He shares how Servco Pacific drew from Google’s principles of respect, service, team work and innovation to create and adopt a servant leadership framework. That work, plus Disney Institute training, has resulted in a workplace culture that goes beyond the traditional corporate paradigm. For example, Servco created allyship groups so that diverse teams can voice opinions on policy decisions. Ching says this demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and helps spearhead changes meant to foster a more diverse workplace. Ching’s personal journey, from starting in 1985 to assuming the roles of CEO and President, reveals the challenges of leadership in a corporate setting. The discussion on decision-making made evident the delicate balance between information gathering and timely execution, with both experience and humility playing pivotal roles. Beyond the corporate realm, the podcast provides a glimpse into Ching’s family history, education and career path. And, as he transitions into a senior advisory role, the podcast explores his reflections on retirement, future plans and the importance of family.

  • S2E18, Peter Ho, Bank of Hawaiʻi

    S2E18, Peter Ho, Bank of Hawaiʻi
    Nov 16 2023
    Peter Ho, the Chairman, President and CEO of Bank of Hawaiʻi, provides valuable insights into his family legacy, career path, and the bank's commitment to its employees and the community. Ho grew up in a family of successful business leaders – his grandfather and father were self-made multi-millionaires – and he credits them for instilling in him a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility. Ho values surrounding himself with smart people, especially women, and highlights the importance of teamwork, perseverance and leadership skills, which he believes can be developed through sports. He shares his experience working in the banking industry in New York City during the late 1980s and early 1990s and reflects on the impact of major events like the savings and loan crisis and the Gulf War. Ho discusses the value proposition of a regional bank in Hawaiʻi, where a combination of local talent, deep understanding of the communities being served and technical expertise from the mainland are all needed. BOH is helping to build a more resilient and diverse economy through partnerships, such as its "all-in" involvement with Hawai‘i based accelerator Mana Up. Ho also talks about the bank's philanthropic efforts, including its dedicated trust division that administers foundations and charitable trusts. He shares the bank's commitment to helping legacy families and new businesses give back to the community.
