Design teams benefit from the collaborative relationship between a Design Manager and a Lead Designer. While the Design Manager focuses on team dynamics and psychological safety, the Lead Designer concentrates on craft skills and design quality. Understanding and embracing the overlaps in these roles fosters a healthy teamwork environment. Effective communication and collaboration among team members are key to successfully navigating the complexities of shared responsibilities and ensuring the overall health of the design team as a cohesive unit.
The Design Manager tends to the mind while the Lead Designer tends to the body, emphasizing the importance of synergy between both roles.
Healthy design teams function as living organisms where Design Managers and Lead Designers collaborate, embracing overlaps instead of maintaining strict boundaries.
