Episode 157: Healthcare Leaders: Should You Lead or Should You Manage Now?

In this episode, we talk about Leading and Managing and some of the myths about this polarity.

We know there are a few misperceptions about Leading and Managing. That it is one “versus” the other. The thing is, they are not EITHER/OR, and they are not “one and the same.”

In fact, Leading and Managing are interdependent values. They are BOTH/AND, so are equally important in any organization and represent a significant polarity that must be leveraged.

In this podcast, we talk about the positive attributes of Leading and Managing and different circumstances if you over-focus on one to the neglect of the other. We also talk about the different related polarities that contribute to Leading and Managing.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

08:39 - About leaders’ biggest challenges

08:55 - About Abraham Zaleznik's question in a Harvard Business Review “Manager and Leaders: Are They Different?”

09:54 - About an American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education article focusing on Leading and Managing

11:06 - The truth about Leading and Managing

11:52 - The positive attributes of Leading
