| CHANGE LEADERSHIP: THE MISSING CATALYST FOR BUILDING A PROVATE SECTOR IN RUSSIA Eric Van Genderen Issue 31 (Vol. 16, No. 1), June 2006, pp. 3-20. In August 1998, Russia was thrown into a financial crisis. Sachs, the Harvard economist, declared that Russia lacked the leadership necessary to successfully make the transition to a market-based economy. Whilst the Soviet leadership model prevented change, research has indicated that the transformational style of leadership adds significantly to the performance of Russian organizations. The Leadership Dimensions Questionnaire (LDQ) is a unique psychometric measurement instrument that assesses managers�� emotional intelligence (EQ), cognitive competences (IQ), and managerial competences (MQ). Leading Western concepts/management tools, like the LDQ, could be used to foster the change leaders capable of developing a healthy private sector. |
