Grammar

he argued that...

0Hi,02br
02br
00I've been reading one of Jack Welch books and found that there were some sentences difficult to understand. Some were in meanings and some were in grammar structures.02br
02br
00- Welch 'argued' that managing less was manging better. => Does it just mean that he 'thinks' that managing less was manging better? or Does it mean he 'gave reasons' why he thinks managing less was managing better? 02br
02br
00- Welch wanted them to do less monitoring and less supervising and to give their employees more 'latitude'. => Can you replace 'latitude' by 'freedom' here? Which word make the sentence better?02br
02br
00Thanks in advance.0-
