Summary/Abstract: Modern organizations that base their activities on knowledge can only maintain their competitive ability by engaging knowledge workers. Managers as knowledge workers are focused on building an innovative culture of the organization, which brings to the fore creative and innovative skills of all employees. Work of all knowledge workers should be primarily focused on creating new values, ie. the innovation of processes, products and services, with which organizations build lasting competitive ability. Although the role of managers is specific (requires special knowledge, skills and abilities), they must be exercised in a synergistic unity. In modern organizations that build a culture of knowledge, these roles are complementary, and they integrate through a powerful mechanism of joint values, which is supported by creative and innovative individuals, but also the functioning of efficient teamwork.
