So, who is a knowledge worker? And why is he is so important in today's world?
Knowledge workers are generally professionals such as teachers, lawyers, architects, physicians, nurses, engineers, and scientists. Peter Drucker, my favorite management guru first coined the word.
Knowledge workers are not subordinates; they are ‘associates.’ Beyond the apprentice stage, knowledge workers must know more about their job than their boss does—or else they are no good at all.
In fact, that they know more about their job than anybody else in the organization is part of the definition of knowledge workers.
Management though he argues should: make people capable of joint performance through common goals, common values, the right structure, and the training and development they need to perform and to respond
to change.
