Исследовательская гипотеза предполагает, что казахстанский стиль комбинирует в себе традиционные структуры власти с требованиями глобализированной экономики.Методология: На основе Глобального исследования лидерства CCBS (опроса с качественным обзором лидерских практик в различных организационных контекстах) и соответствующих научных работ авторы анализируют как казахстанский стиль лидерства в бизнес-организациях соотносится с региональными нормами, отличается от западных моделей и адаптируется к глобальным вызовам. Применялся смешанный методологический подход.Оригинальность/ценность исследования: Помимо сбора большого количества оригинальных данных, исследование обращается к важности стратегий развития лидерства с учетом культурной специфики. В их числе – межкультурное обучение, программы профессионального развития и MBA, адаптированные к социально-экономическому контексту Казахстана. Дополнительно было отмечено, что этнокультурное разнообразие страны, включая билингвальные компетенции и транснациональные сети, определяется как стратегический ресурс для усиления международного сотрудничества.Результаты исследования: Результаты показывают, что уважение к авторитету, обращение к руководителям по титулу и иерархическое принятие решений служат основой организационной стабильности, однако возможности для развития инноваций используются не в полной мере. Поколенческие изменения, особенно среди молодых казахстанских лидеров с зарубежным образованием, свидетельствуют о постепенном переходе к более интегрированным и адаптивным практикам лидерства. Сочетая культурную аутентичность с инновационными подходами, казахстанское лидерство предлагает модель для решения сложных задач взаимосвязанного мира.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Purpose: This article examines organisational leadership in Kazakhstan through the lens of hierarchical culture, ethnocultural diversity, and global adaptation. Drawing on the CCBS Global Leadership Survey and comparative literature, the study investigates how Kazakh leadership aligns with, diverges from, or bridges global leadership models.Methodology: A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative survey data from 71 Kazakh respondents and comparative country results with qualitative interviews and thematic analysis of open answers. The study includes descriptive statistics, cross-cultural radar charts, and expert validation.Originality / value: This study offers a rare triangulation of survey evidence, expert opinion, and cultural comparison for Kazakhstan, a country often omitted in global leadership literature. It reveals how Kazakhstan’s traditional values coexist with emerging adaptive styles, particularly among younger, internationally educated leaders. The study contributes actionable insights for expatriates, HRM professionals, and crosscultural trainers.Findings: Leadership in Kazakhstan remains anchored in hierarchical norms, respect for titles, and status signalling, but signs of participative and pragmatic evolution are visible. Ethnocultural diversity acts as a potential leadership asset. Generational change and international exposure are slowly reshaping expectations toward more inclusive, situational leadership. These findings underscore the need for culturally sensitive leadership development tailored to Kazakhstan’s institutional and societal realities.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Казахстанское лидерство</kwd><kwd>иерархия</kwd><kwd>этнокультурное разнообразие</kwd><kwd>адаптивные стили</kwd><kwd>кросс-культурное управление</kwd><kwd>индекс дистанции власти</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Kazakh leadership</kwd><kwd>hierarchy</kwd><kwd>ethnocultural diversity</kwd><kwd>adaptive styles</kwd><kwd>cross-cultural management</kwd><kwd>power distance</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Raimzhanova A. – Hard, Soft, and Smart Power-Education as a Power Resource / A.
