How should ‘knowledge workers’ be managed?

“Workers are human”

“You don’t get far putting a stopwatch on an investment banker”

“log ago managers accepted that people are complex human creatures and that they are most likely knowledge workers rather than physical labourers”

“Organisations have come to be regarded more like organisms than machines”

“what attracts and motivates the best knowledge workers?- value of teams, the flattening of hierarchies….” (Colvin, 2000).

So why are School systems- schools – school libraries all still managed in this way?
