How To Manage A Successful Team - Vera Richards #28

The Localization Podcast - A podcast by Localization Academy

Categories:

From Localization Engineer to Program Director in 5 years. That was the rapid career of Vera Richards after leaving Microsoft. Today she's the VP of Localization at Akorbi and she'll share with you how to manage a successful team around the world.

Since we both worked for Moravia, we HAD TO reminisce about the "good old days". You'll get to know a few people from that era. (Yes, I'm getting old) 

But - the meat of our interview was team management. In this episode you will learn:

▪ How to manage teams and gain their trust
▪ What motivates people
▪ Akorbi's rockstar system
▪ Balancing strengths and weaknesses
▪ Why keeping your word matters
▪ Becoming a friend with your team - yes or no
▪ How to deliver negative feedback
▪ Paralyzed by... typos?!

This is episode 28 of my social interaction practice, also known as The Localization Podcast :) #localization and #translation insight delivered to you by the power of voice, this time with Vera Richards.
