Qual o valor adequado e a forma de controle gerencial necessários no trabalho de desenvolvimento de conhecimento intensivo? Este trabalho centra-se na iluminação do tipo de liderança e dos esforços de gestão que apóiam ou dificultam o avanço de projetos de desenvolvimento. Os resultados destacam o papel paradoxal do poder e do controle e revelam que os trabalhadores precisam de liberdade e ainda forte orientação e comprometimento dos gestores, para permanecerem motivados no desenvolvimento do trabalho. As implicações inerentes ao desenvolvimento de liderança baseada no conhecimento são discutidas.
