Resolving the leadership paradox: the doctor's dialogue

Article Abstract:

Workers in knowledge-intensive organizations will only be willing to change if they are led by people they want to follow. Such high-level knowledge workers require the supervision of organizational doctors. Organizational doctors are heads of leadership teams. A leadership team develops a new theory on what needs to be done, then translates the theory into strategy and practice. The organizational doctor promotes constant interaction within the team to implement change and facilitate organizational learning and becomes the role model in the organization.
