Julie Zhuo is the Vice President of Product Design for Facebook, having led the design team responsible for the app and its services. Julie was just 25 when she became a rookie manager at the Facebook. Her knowledge was limited but she was open to learning. Now, years later Julie outlined her first-time management experience and lessons in her new book, The Making of a Manager and she’s with me today to offer some of the lessons for everyone to first-time managers to seasoned pros.

VERIZON FAMILY TECH

Last week mobile powerhouse Verizon made a giant leap into children’s mobility launching a plan centered around a child’s first smartphone. The ‘Just Kids’ plan helps give parents peace of mind with controls toeasily keep track of where kids are, limit how time online, and set content filters. The plan also includes 5GB of 4G LTE data and unlimited talk and text to 20 parent-defined contacts. Plus there are no overage fees if the child goes beyond the allotted data, the speed simply slows down instead. This launch comes off the heels of Verizon’s Family Tech Initiative and their work with the Family Online Safety Institute, both of which take aim at good digital parenting. Here with me to discuss the Just Kids plan plus mobile and online safety are Angie Klein, the Vice President of Marketing at Verizon, and Stephen Balkam, the founder of FOSI, the Family Online Safety Institute.
