N2 - Learning and knowledge management (KM) are important though complex elements of multiorganisational
collaborations. Leadership is often considered to be critical in shaping the outcomes
of effective collaboration, but what particular form should this take to tackle the particular challenges
faced by learning and KM? To what extent do any of the existing models and theories of leadership
address learning and KM perspectives? What are the key issues that demand the attention of leaders
and leadership processes? This paper draws on a substantial body of disparate and often unconnected
literature to explore these complex and under-researched questions of theoretical and practical enquiry
in a public sector context. It concludes with an assessment of the main leadership challenges, the
potential of different leadership approaches and some suggestions as to future areas of research
