Global "Russians"

“Russians”
2.
2© 2016 Egon
Zehnder We started with Questions posed by our Clients Who are those talented managers with international experience and global mind-set originally coming from our region (Russia & CIS)? Where are they? How many? What makes “Russian” executives successful? A Typical Answer would have been: The pool of “Russian” candidates with international experience exists but it is very limited We decided we can do better that and started a more systematic research in 2015 focusing on: ~Director level and above Multinational companies primarily in consumer space Located primarily in Europe, USA and Asia People who mostly started their careers in 1990s
3.
3© 2016 Egon
Zehnder ~ 1,000 executives 50+ countries on all continents 100+ international companies Concentrated in consumer companies From few talented individuals to a generation of global talent within 25 years
4.
4© 2016 Egon
Zehnder Now we have Global “Russians” Talent Map ~ 1,000 executives Working in 50 countries on all continents In 100+ international companies across all key market sectors: FMCG, retail, services, pharma and life sciences, telecommunications and technology, banking and financial services and industrial companies Our focus group - top 35 multinational consumer companies – represent ~50% of all executives. We expect that the consumer sector will remain the key focus area for some time. Great news on Diversity: female and male talent is equally represented (literally, 50/50 split) Global “Russians” are well represented across all functional areas: GM level, Commercial, Marketing, Supply Chain, Finance, HR as well as such more specialized areas as R&D, HSE etc. We are only in the beginning of mapping out Global “Russian” talent. Our estimate is that for a wider range of global and international companies across industries (e.g. Fortune 500 etc.) the research could yield much higher numbers. This is still Work in Progress
5.
5© 2016 Egon
Zehnder Key Findings (1/2) We interviewed 25 HR Directors of multinational FMCG and pharma companies in Russia and internationally plus Russian executives who have been or still are on international assignments and/or pursuing international corporate careers All companies confirm that there are active global international assignments/mobility programs in which Russia participates. In many companies international mobility is part of standard performance and development assessment cycle All companies declare and recognize importance of developing Russian executives as global talent BUT not all companies have done it in a systematic and consistent manner and invested locally and globally into creating a pipeline of Russian executives on international assignments Details of such programs vary significantly from very well structured and active for the last 15 years to ad hoc arrangements with Russian executives participating only in the last 2-3 years Repatriation of Russian executives is the biggest challenge – need longer term planning of a next career step
6.
6© 2016 Egon
Zehnder Key Findings (2/2) “Russian” talent remains significantly underrepresented at corporate level relative to the size of the Russian business Companies do not set specific representation targets (and they shouldn’t) but at least half of companies we spoke to recognize the need for talent from core emerging markets, including Russia, to be better represented at regional and corporate levels On average, male/female split is 50/50 but for some international companies female executives constitute up to 80% of Russian talent on assignments Attitude to Russian executives in HQs can range from perception of “stars” and “can walk on water” to “not being good enough” and “exotic”; in many cases changing that perception and sending first executives on international mobility programs takes time Russian executives need to recognize the fact that they are part of the global talent market and that they compete globally
7.
7© 2016 Egon
Zehnder Global “Russian” executives • Highly results oriented and business focused • Ready to take full responsibility • Strong bias for action & problem solving • Creative thinkers • Good educational and professional standards • Functionally strong managers • Stress resistant; used to high pace & pressure environments • Hard working, committed • Personal style: too direct, pushy, too aggressive, impatient, tough minded… • Look for hierarchical tools and guidance to solve problems; not enough influencing & collaboration • Lack of cultural adaptability and flexibility; • Overconfidence and being stuck in own mental stereotypes and values • Not politically savvy • Don’t invest enough in building relationships and networks • “Results should speak for themselves” mentality What make them successful (strengths) What makes them fail (gaps)
8.
8© 2016 Egon
Zehnder Success Factors & Key Learnings (1/2) Having a clear purpose & commitment from the individual and the company Stable and mature families/partners Planning international assignments early and planning next steps after expatriation far in advance Cultural adaptability training Strong support of the receiving side (business, HR) Mentorship and coaching from senior executives Emotional and psychological support (professional, a personal buddy, a shoulder to cry on) Adaptability, flexibility and learning agility are critical for individuals
9.
9© 2016 Egon
Zehnder Success Factors & Key Learnings (2/2) Executives need to learn to go easy on themselves, not pushing themselves over the edge proving their worth on international assignments, some burn out Taking care of families & relocation issues (moving, accommodation, schools etc.) Global Russians are lucrative targets for the market, so need to offer longer-term prospects internally International assignments have become more attractive in the last years, partly due to economic downturn, people are much more interested and open to the idea Companies need to be earlier in their messaging that successful corporate careers involve international mobility “Russian” executives need to accept that they are competing on a global scale with top talent from all over the world and What got you here, won’t get you there!
10.
10© 2016 Egon
Zehnder Definitions & Disclaimers Our purpose is not to create divisions but to highlight the story of an emergence of a GENERATION of modern managers coming originally from our part of the world and becoming global talent in the last 25 years. We use the term “Russians” only in terms of convenience and neither in ethnic/national or limiting geographical context: it can be Russian citizens of various nationalities as well as people coming from a wider region once known as the USSR (could as well be global “Ukrainians”, “Georgians”, “Kazakhs”, “Tatars”… etc.) Some executives might have dual citizenships by now or become citizens of other countries. By GLOBAL we mean executives who spent a considerable amount of time living, studying and working abroad, who pursue international careers and are already in or are likely to take higher level above-country regional and global roles in major international companies. Most importantly, these are individuals who are open to the world and international careers. They might at some point come back to Russia and/or become global talent with only historical ties to the region.
