Shedding the legacy of the red executive: Leadership in Russian enterprises

Sheila M. Puffer

International Business Review, 1995, vol. 4, issue 2, 157-176

Abstract: The focus of this article is on the leadership characteristics of Russian managers in two time periods: the Red Executive during the communist regime, and the market-oriented manager of the 1990s. Six traits associated with successful American managers are used as a framework. The article concludes with observations on ways in which managers in post-communist countries might channel their behavior to shed the legacy of the Red Executive and facilitate the transition of their enterprises to a market-based economy.
