Description: "In Knowledge Leadership, Steven Cavaleri and Sharon Seivert describe the dawning of a new era in which individuals are "leading" rather than "managing" knowledge. In the past, many knowledge-based initiatives have failed because leaders underestimated the powerful link between knowledge and performance improvement - and also because they mistakenly thought that "information" was the same as knowledge. Cavaleri and Seivert claim that, while information is a necessary precursor to knowledge, it is not sufficient in itself for improving business performance."

"To help you apply the concepts and tools in this book, Cavaleri and Seivert draw on case examples and a decade of original cross-cultural research about knowledge leadership. They also invite you to use The Knowledge Bias Profile to discover your knowledge leadership style. The book systematically outlines a user-friendly strategy for becoming a knowledge leader and for building high-performance, knowledge-based organizations."--Jacket.
