Knowledge workers drive innovation and growth. Knowledge itself is no longer passed on from the top down, but flows through networks, exchange and collaboration throughout the organization.
We know from research and practice that heterogeneous teams are often stronger than those in which everyone works in a similar way. Leading such teams is one of the most exciting, but also most challenging tasks for managers. Knowledge workers need trust, autonomy and purpose, which leads to greater self-efficacy. Kearney's complementary forces model helps managers to create a good balance in teams, promote stability and turn the diversity of perspectives into real strength.
