YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn life, we often have to juggle two perspectives at once — for instance, saving for a dream vacation while paying the bills, or being a supportive friend while offering a tough critique. As Professor Suzy Welch explains, leadership requires a similar balancing act. She calls this process “lanaging” (or, in other words, the art of blending inspiration with execution).
In this video lesson, Welch reveals how to master this delicate balance, using it to build trust and drive results across your team and organization.
