There are few things more frustrating than a leader who sets up a bunch of meetings, presents ideas, and talks strategy…

… but then doesn’t know how to motivate everyone to actually get all that stuff done!

Fortunately, our guest today is NOT that kind of leader.

Liz Elting is the former CEO of TransPerfect, a translation solutions company that she started and built into a billion-dollar business. 

Today you’re going to hear how she did it. And as you’ll see, a huge part of her success comes from Liz’s strong bias toward action.

She is willing to put in the hard work and long hours. She is incredibly goal-oriented. And best of all, she knows how to motivate a team to go out and operate in the same way.
