Comparison North America and Post-Communist Countries Russia and Kazakhstan

New technologies of communication and transportation systems make more opportunities for the development of international businesses. As a result, the global consulting market accounted to US 43.07 billion in 2017 and is expected to grow to US 91.38 billion by 2025 (ReportBuyer, 2018). In Russia, consulting came in 1987 but the industry started massive development since 1990 when Russia started to build a market economy (Bricheeva, 2017). When I was working as SEO in international metal scrap company from 2013 to 2016 in Kazakhstan, we regularly worked with international consulting companies, such as Deloitte Consulting, Accenture, and KPMG Consulting. Often, the companies recommended changing leadership styles from autocratic to laissez-faire or hands-off leadership styles. In our company, we tried laissez-faire leadership style for one year, and we found that discipline and efficiency of workers decrease. That time the laissez-faire leadership style didn’t work in our company. Thus, this research paper focuses on these questions: Why is one type of leadership effective in one country and doesn’t work in different countries? How can consulting companies determine which leadership styles should be applied in different countries? What affects common leadership styles in a country? Many studies show that common leadership styles depend on culture but culture is a too broad factor. Any culture composite many determinants but this research paper concentrates on three specific factors of culture which affect common leadership styles in a country: Economic stability, education and government systems. Also, the research limited by two geographical areas North America and post-communist counties Russian Federation and Kazakhstan. Even if these areas are too big, each area has similar cultural factors. Another reason why the paper focuses on these regions is that North Americal consulting companies actively participate in Russian and Kazakh businesses, and they face leadership challenges. The first goal of this paper is to help to develop consulting companies analysis of effective leadership styles in any country.
In the global political arena developed countries, also, initiate and support leadership styles and political systems which they think is right for developing countries such as Venezuela, Syria, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. It is very important to analyze and publish more researches about dependability between culture and leadership styles. If leadership styles directly depend on culture, people in the country would not accept a leader who has a different leadership style then population expecting. The second goal of this paper is to help global leaders to find a way of peaceful influence on democracy development in developing countries.
