Dear colleague,
We are
pleased to share with you this paper suggesting learning and
knowledge management (KM) are important
though complex elements of multi-organisational collaborations.
Leadership
is often considered to be critical in shaping the outcomes of effective
collaboration, but what particular form should this take to tackle the
particular challenges faced by learning and KM? To what extent do any of the existing
models and theories of leadership address learning and KM perspectives? What
are the key issues that demand the attention of leaders and leadership
processes? This paper draws on a substantial body of disparate and often
unconnected literature to explore these complex and under-researched questions
of theoretical and practical enquiry in a public sector context. The paper
concludes with an assessment of the main leadership challenges, the potential
of different leadership approaches and some suggestions as to future areas of
research.
