    You may want to consider how managing the knowledge worker is different
    from managing workers who do manual work. Most management courses don't
    consider this.

    See attached: Who is a Knowledge Worker (32K ), by Bill Johnson, who was
    one of the panelist at our Feb meeting of the Creativity Consortium on
    Defining the Knowledge Worker.

    A copy of the proceedings of the Feb meeting /workshop is available from
    the Creativity Consortium. Please write to me directly at
