AB  - Competitive advantage requires continuous innovation. Market‐led
organizations must be led internally by those who most deeply understand
emerging markets and who can drive product development. Bottom‐up
leadership is the next phase of empowerment – to encourage
knowledge workers to lead the development of new products. There is
still too much emphasis on top‐down leadership. Organizations in
fast‐changing industries need to disperse leadership throughout the
organization to change fast enough to keep up. Leadership must now be
based on content (knowledge) not merely process skills. As senior
executives move up the hierarchy, far away from knowledge advancement,
they can only use their process skills to develop content leadership in
leading‐edge knowledge workers. Survival thus requires new conceptions
of leadership.
