In a poll conducted by the Superjob.ru research center and job portal, Russian respondents chose Dr. House as their ideal boss among celebrities and fictional characters.
According to an earlier poll conducted by the center, Russians chose professionalism, competence, intelligence, dedication, and strategic thinking as the five qualities of top bosses. Seeing consistencies in qualities between top executives and most the popular TV/film personalities, the research center decided to have a bit of fun with their next poll.
The center posed the open-ended question, “Who are the famous heroes of film or television that you'd like to have as your supervisor?”
The cynical, sociopathic Dr. House won the majority of the votes with 6 percent out of the 1,000 respondents.
Sherlock Holmes, regardless of the actor behind the role, garnered the second highest amount of votes, winning 4 percent overall.
Following Sherlock in the rankings was another doctor, Andrei Bykov from the Russian medical sitcom “Interns.”
More narcissists followed, overwhelmingly chosen by men, including the Wolf of Wall Street and Tony Stark.
The female respondents to the poll were singularly responsible for the presence of female characters and personalities in the list of results, such as Miranda Priestly from “The Devil Wears Prada” film.
Also more popular among female respondents were men such as Harvey Specter from “Suits,” Dean Winchester of “Supernatural,” and international man of mystery James Bond.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
