In order to work effectively with Russian organizations, it is
essential for potential Western partners and shareholders to fully
understand their leadership style, organizational practices and
business expectations. Based on extensive interviews with the
pioneers of Russian business and the authors' own experiences, this
perceptive new book attempts to decipher the enigma of Russia's new
generation of business leaders. The authors present six in-depth
case studies focusing on companies of vastly differing sizes,
ranging from a newly-privatized operation, and the creation and
organization of an oligarch's empire, to several entrepreneurial
start-ups in different service industries. The case studies
document the changes and developments that have occurred in Russia
since the privatization era of the 1990s, highlighting the
strengths and weaknesses of the emerging business leadership
orientations. Grounded in Russian culture and history, the book
takes a balanced view of the rapid development and transformation
of the country's business leadership over the past ten years. The
authors also offer perceptive conclusions and practical advice that
will not only contribute to the success of Western businesses
operating in Russia and other former communist countries in Eastern
Europe but also help business people in Eastern Europe create high
performance organizations. As we move towards a globalized economy,
the need to recognise executive behaviour in Russia is becoming
increasingly important. This book will provide a great source of
information for academics and researchers of entrepreneurship,
leadership studies and international business. Although the focus
is on Russian entrepreneurs, the lessons in the book are equally as
relevant for other cultures and leadership styles.

The INSEAD Global Leadership Centre was founded and is directed by
Professor Kets de Vries. This book is a volume of essays on
leadership development topics. Drawing upon substantial research
the book presents the essential leadership models and equips
practitioners with tools for developing executive coaches and
working with business leaders.
Spend some time with three of today's most noted business pioneers and share their secrets for achieving international success. The New Global Leaders takes readers into the private worlds of Asea Brown Boveri's Percy Barnevik, Virgin founder Richard Branson, and British Petroleum titan David Simon to provide rare and candid profiles of how these charismatic leaders have redefined organizational growth and development in the latter 20th century. The authors were granted unprecedented access to these men and the results are as fascinating as they are informative. Readers are treated to personal interviews with these very powerful and very different personalities, each of whom provides a behind-the-scenes account of how he put his company on the global map. Sharing their philosophies, visions, and strategies, they exemplify leadership in an age of rapid and relentless change and provide new models of success for our post-industrial era.
Going far beyond a purely rational-structural way of looking at
change in organizations, this book contributes well researched
insights into often-overlooked organizational blind spots. The
authors share their own experiences in clear and accessible
language, exploring recovery from cumulative crises; nostalgia and
postalgia; victimization of leaders; dealing with narcissistic
leaders; and a writing process for reducing anxiety through
self-reflection. Anyone who works in an organization-large or
small-will gain new perspectives on the most difficult challenge of
all: understanding human behavior in times of change.
