Abstract

This chapter examines how leadership influences learning in knowledge-based organizations. The pertinent literature suggests that leadership has a major impact on the learning capabilities of a corporation and its members. Consequently, organizations are increasingly viewing leadership as a source of competitive advantage. This is particularly true of high-tech and knowledge-based organizations that act in a complex and dynamic environment. Although there is a lack of empirical evidence of how exactly leadership influences learning in organizations, this chapter takes a modest step to further reduce the existing gap by pointing out how learning in organizations demands specific leadership requirements and how these leadership requirements can be achieved. We will propose a ‘learning leadership model’ that goes beyond the traditional understanding of leadership and can be used as a starting point for a holistic approach to leadership in knowledge-based organizations.
