| Abstract: | This research aims at understanding the current leadership styles in Russia and in the Netherlands and making a cross-cultural comparison between them. First, existing literature was analyzed. Then, five Russian employees working in the Netherlands were interviewed and asked about potential clashes experienced with their Dutch colleagues. These disagreements help understand different cultural standards, via the method of the Critical Incident Technique. As a result, Dutch leadership style, Workplace environment, Differences compared to work experience in Russia and Cultural norms were the main identified themes. Findings show that the participants view Dutch leadership style as the most convenient and there is an overall positive sentiment towards working in the Netherlands compared to Russia. The results show both confirmation and contradictions of previous studies. All these cultural standards can be used by Russian employees and Russian leaders to better understand Dutch leadership and excel in the Dutch workplace. |
