Strategic Leadership Assessment of Peter the Great.

Abstract

Peter the Great's rule over Russia was secured by birth to nobility, but unlike other tsars, his extraordinary reign was characterized by what is known today as strategic leadership. Peter's remarkable, but unconventional performance as Russia's ruler provides ample opportunity for comparison of 21st century leadership concepts to a 16th century leader. This paper evaluates Peter's strategic level performance in regard to the roles of strategic leader, practitioner and theorist. Additionally, his actions and conduct during significant aspects of his reign, such as the Great Northern War and building of St. Petersburg, are assessed using the strategic leader competencies as outlined in U.S. Army Field Manual 22-103, Strategic Leadership.
