商品描述

Description:

In Knowledge Leadership, Cavaleri and 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.

The authors describe notable organizations that use the pragmatic knowledge strategies they describe to gain competitive advantage. Pragmatic knowledge is the result of individuals’ developing a deeper understanding of how (and why) things work best in practice. The process of creating pragmatic knowledge transforms key lessons from systems thinking, total quality management, and organization learning into a powerful new business strategy.

To help readers 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 readers to use The Knowledge Bias Profile to discover their knowledge leadership style. The book systematically outlines a user-friendly strategy for becoming a knowledge leader and for building high-performing, knowledge-based organizations.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述:
在《知識領導力》一書中,卡瓦萊里(Cavaleri)和塞弗特(Seivert)描述了一個新時代的開始,其中個人正在「領導」而不是「管理」知識。過去,許多基於知識的倡議失敗是因為領導者低估了知識與業績改善之間的強大聯繫,並且錯誤地認為「信息」與知識是相同的。卡瓦萊里和塞弗特聲稱,儘管信息是知識的必要前提,但它本身並不足以改善業務績效。

作者描述了一些使用他們所描述的實用知識策略獲得競爭優勢的知名組織。實用知識是個人對實踐中事物如何(以及為什麼)最佳運作的更深入理解的結果。創造實用知識的過程將系統思維、全面質量管理和組織學習的重要教訓轉化為一種強大的新業務策略。

為了幫助讀者應用本書中的概念和工具,卡瓦萊里和塞弗特借鑒案例例子和十年的原創跨文化研究,邀請讀者使用《知識偏見概况》來發現他們的知識領導風格。本書系統地概述了成為知識領導者並建立高效知識型組織的用戶友好策略。
