意思
To act in a polite manner.
文化背景
The concept of 'public shame' is strong. Parents often say 'Что люди подумают?' (What will people think?) alongside 'Веди себя хорошо!'. In schools, 'behavior' (поведение) is an actual grade on report cards. 'Вести себя хорошо' is the goal for a '5' (A grade). Classical authors like Tolstoy often use this phrase to contrast internal feelings with external social performance. In corporate culture, 'вести себя хорошо' is being replaced by 'соблюдать корпоративную этику', but the old phrase remains in casual office talk.
The 'Sebya' Rule
Always include 'себя'. If you say 'Он ведет хорошо', Russians will wait for you to say WHAT he is leading (a car, a group, a tour).
Don't use with superiors
Telling your boss 'Ведите себя хорошо' is a great way to get fired. It sounds like you are talking to a toddler.
