The localization world is full of managers: from project managers, vendor managers, and quality managers, to program managers, general managers, and many more. While they all seem different, they all rely on their traits and skills to lead successful teams and help others grow personally and professionally. In this presentation, we will discuss the change of mindset required to become a successful people manager in the world of localization, how to handle the ups and downs of leading a team, and how to effectively deal with growing challenges like remote work, diversity, and team distribution across multiple time zones.
