The rise of the lanager: Why leadership and management can't be split
Briefly

Suzy Welch identifies the extremes in management styles: visionaries who focus too much on lofty ideas and micromanagers who are overly hands-on. Both approaches can lead to dissatisfaction among employees. Welch advocates for a balanced hybrid approach she terms 'lanager,' which combines visionary leadership with functional management. This approach allows managers to engage with their teams while also pushing for innovation and growth. By finding this balance, managers can avoid alienating their teams and drive more effective outcomes in the workplace.
There's a chance that everyone hates you. Welch emphasizes the importance of managers finding a balance between visionary ideas and practical, hands-on management.
A great manager is one who balances the vision with the function. The merging of leading with managing is crucial for effective team performance.
