Due to exponential growth of knowledge and innovations in its transmission a context has emerged to redefine the role of leaders to spearhead the changes that are taking place in both the economic field and the society. The challenge before educationists and academicians was posed by phrases, whether 'Knowledge' is power or 'Information' is power and the availability of unparalleled channels of communications around the globe. Apparently, that we are living in Knowledge Society. Knowledge is key resource and knowledge workers are dominant groups in workplace. All this suggests that the greatest changes happened and still happening right now. The base hypotheses: After March of 1995, when were came into force W3 protocol, we got a new society – Information Society – and our economics became global. Organizations in this global market need not managers, but new kind of leaders. Questions, which are answered in this work: How the role of organizational leadership needs to be understood today and in a perspective? Contemporary leadership: how does it look like? What competences new managerial leaders should have today and in the future? |
