Transltions Made Easier!

Guys, a very good morning. I was loaded with much of work yesterday. As a part of my schedule, I was asked to translate a part of code from one to another. There are many translation services and my choice was translia. Translating is one of the most difficult jobs as far as I know. Many a times it happens that my manager calls up to China and stay stumbled over the phone as he knows English and the other knows only Chinese.

It is a tiresome task to make him understand English. Yesterday, it happened so that I explained about translia language translation service to my manager and he was very much happy to hear that. Soon, he browsed it up and was amazed to see the quick translation that was available. Generally, managers would be very rude and don't take up a junior's advice on any decision but I am proud to say that my manager is purely an exception.

I was appreciated and I myself was really happy to see the professional translation. It made me realize that translations are very simple and is just a click away. Internet is ever growing and we can make use of it for anything and everything. Have a great day!

How to be a manager?

Nowadays, the need for good managers is intensifying. With flatter organizations and self-directed teams becoming common, with personal computers and networks making information available to more people more quickly, the need for managers seem to be vanishing. On the other end, the need for good managers, people who can manage themselves and others in a high stress environment, is increasing. I believe anyone can be a good manager. It is as much skill as it is the inherent ability one possess as much science as art.

Following are my views on how a manager should be at work:

• Should be consistent in his activities, but not rigid.
• Should be dependable on the team members but also be able to change his/her mind.
• Should make decisions, but also accept input from others easily.
• Should be a little crazy. Should think out-of-the box.
• Should give innovative ideas and should strive towards achieving it. If it fails, he must admit the mistake.
• Should Plan and regularize the work effectively.
• Should be in a position to change the derived plans and act quickly.
• Above all, he should see the given information as a tool and not as power to be hoarded.

Management Training

Firstly, I like to extend my hearty wishes to my dearest friend for his promotion from the position of a tech leader to a project manager. Gags, I do need your valuable suggestion on his idea. With more than 10 years of experience in the software industry, he is about to take up a training on project management so as to handle people and his clients in a better way. He has a sound knowledge in Oracle and also he has good interpersonal skills and is capable of handling any kind of situations with ease. But, now he feels a bit afraid of handling his project on a whole. Heard taking Primavera Training is really helpful for engineers, project managers and for those working for government industries. They provide all the courses delivered by Emerald Associates. Earning a certification at this level helps him a lot it seems. On surfing the web, they provide the course with a clear cut schedule in place. According to him, a good intercultural manager is a flexible manager. Understanding where potential obstacles lie in communication and adapting is good practice. Even when he was in college, while presenting a seminar, rather than providing justification with statistical data, he would present them in charts and diagrams will have a lot more impact. Please let me know your view on this and give him a good suggestion.
