Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapter we discussed the dynamic model in which a firm creates knowledge through interactions with its environment. The driver of this entire dynamic process is leadership. Leadership plays a variety of roles in the knowledge-creating process, such as: providing knowledge-vision and a driving objective; developing and promoting the sharing of knowledge assets; creating, energizing, and connecting ba; and enabling and promoting the continuous spiral of knowledge creation through dialogue and practice. At the base of such leadership is phronesis, that is, practical wisdom to make the necessary decisions and take the appropriate action with the right timing to achieve a common good.
