Abstract

Catherine the Great—renowned for making Russia a world power in the late eighteenth century—is universally recognized for her legacy of territorial expansion, autocratic rule, and unconventional romance. However, this powerful czarina’s leadership style and strategic genius were much more nuanced than this list, on its own, might suggest. She was a masterful and empathetic manager of talented people, a pioneer in using systems of merit-based performance rather than arbitrary patronage, and a skilled builder of internal and external networks—just to mention a few of her impressive managerial attributes.
