S04E10: Business Acumen for LSP Leadership

The Translation Company Talk podcast brings you another exciting interview. Today we hear from Shamus Sayed about the importance of business acumen for leadership of language service provider companies. A business is only successful if its leader has a vision to grow and that can be developed and translated into actionable targets once the leader knows every aspect of their business. It pays off to learn about the business, developing the necessary acumen and traits, and to be on top of things.

Shamus talks about how language service provider management executives can build business acumen and expertise, what advantages you have if you have the right business acumen, the advantages, and disadvantages of learning to run a company without the experience and proper business education, if acumen can be learned through universities or colleges, the difference between acumen and a skill, the importance of mentors and coaches, and much more.
