Knowledge worker & Wisdom worker

Knowledge workers are workers whose main capital is knowledge. Examples include architects, engineers, scientists, and any other white-collar workers, whose line of work requires one to "think for a living".
A wisdom worker is a (mostly) creative-minded individual, who works primarily in emotional creativeness. Their main skill is their ability to weave engaging narrative into their work.

1. Knowledge Worker & Wisdom Worker By Manas Dhibar

2. Knowledge & Wisdom Knowledge  is the accumulation of facts and data that you have learned about or experienced. It’s being aware of something and having information. Knowledge is really about facts and ideas that we acquire through study, research, investigation, observation, or experience . Wisdom  is the ability to discern and judge which aspects of that knowledge are true, right, lasting, and applicable to your life. It’s the ability to apply that knowledge to the greater scheme of life. It’s also deeper; knowing the meaning or reason; about knowing why something is, and what it means to your life.

3. Knowledge Worker Knowledge workers  are workers whose main capital is  knowledge. Examples include software engineers, physicians, architects, engineers, scientists, design thinkers, public accountants, lawyers, and academics, whose line of work requires the one to " think for a living ". Knowledge workers spend 38% of their time searching for information. Generally, if the knowledge can be retained, knowledge worker contributions will serve to expand the knowledge assets of a company. Even though they sometimes are called "gold collars",  because of their high salaries, as well as because of their relative independence in controlling the process of their own work, current research shows that they are also more prone to burnout, and very close  normative control from organizations they work for, unlike regular workers.

4. Knowledge Worker Roles Knowledge workers bring benefits to organizations in a variety of ways. These include: Analyzing data to establish relationships. Identifying and understanding trends. Understanding cause and effect. Ability to  brainstorm, thinking broadly (divergent thinking). Ability to  drill down, creating more focus (convergent thinking). Producing a new capability. Creating or modifying a strategy.

5. Wisdom Worker Wisdom worker on the other hand is the one who uses wisdom, which is the result of learning and using knowledge for a strategic advantage. After gaining knowledge, wisdom is used to meet new situations. Wisdom resides in the minds of the wisdom worker. Wisdom workers have a deeper knowledge of the how and why of things linked to each other.

6. Wisdom Worker Wisdom is an infinitely renewable resource. It comes from inside. It is not dependent on age, education, or experience. It comes from the ability to listen deeply to one’s own heart and the values in our soul. It is the voice deep inside that is connected to our experience of inspiration, creativity, and contribution; it can give us everything when we need to know it. We have all had moments when we spontaneously became present to this experience of inner wisdom. To achieve peak performance we must cultivate this ability so that it becomes our predominant way of being.
