Description

"I've made plenty of mistakes along the way," Louise readily states.

Louise Perold has been leading teams for several decades, first in South Africa and now in Portugal. She's been focused on quality throughout, including co-organizing a testing conference in South Africa for a number of years, and she currently serves on the board of the Association for Software Testing.

We chat about becoming an effective people manager, building trust within teams, and allowing a team to discover its best ways of working.

Some things that help Louise:

• Studying nonviolent communication is a lifelong journey. https://www.nonviolentcommunication.com/resources/
• Nancy Kline's book Time to Think had a big impact on me especially because it is something I truly relate to: https://www.timetothink.com/thinking-environment/
• Esther Perel's podcast: https://www.estherperel.com/podcast
• Problem Solving Leadership workshop: https://www.estherderby.com/workshops/psl/
