Abstract

The accelerating implementation of innovations in business drags the enterprise management teams into a chain of constant changes which requires rapid adaptation to the process of changes, becoming a routine. Development as an issue of a systemic qualitative change and of the increasing internal organisational potential is one of the most important issues in the advancement of modern organisations. The article introduces to the opportunities of the management team development as one of the main activity trends seeking to ensure the possibility of successful team management, continuous improvement of the members, and increasing competitiveness of the organisation. Upon conducting qualitative research in a Klaipėda region furniture manufacturing company, its findings, i. e. the opportunities of the management team development are presented: to encourage all the members of the management team to become leaders; to identify the goals of the personality and the competences development; to find out which competences each member wants to improve and to allow them to undertake additional activities that would enable the improvement of those competences; to set the operational goals for the members which would also allow (help) them to pursue their personal goals; to coordinate the values of the organisation and the team members on the basis of needs, when the need for self-realisation prevails over their hierarchy; to give more responsibility to the team members who wish and seek it; and to authorise each member of the team to resolve comnflicts independently.

Highlights

  • The accelerating implementation of innovations in business "drags" the enterprise management teams into a chain of constant changes which requires rapid adaptation to the process of changes, turning into a routine

  • To sum up the findings of the conducted qualitative research, we argue that the management team's leader must encourage each member of the team to look for the meaning of development, i. e. the identification of one's own strengths and weaknesses in development in order to effectively function in professional activity

  • The development of the management team is an artificially natural process of the socio-cultural system in which the internal qualitative potential is acquired by the team members' mastering of the new and improving of the old competences when seeking to more effectively work in the company

Summary

Introduction

The accelerating implementation of innovations in business "drags" the enterprise management teams into a chain of constant changes which requires rapid adaptation to the process of changes, turning into a routine. The aspiration of enterprises to exist today and to remain in the future is inseparable from consistent work in the formation and development of management teams whose successful performance depends on the potential and skills of their members and their desire to constantly improve. It is very importanty to identify and remove the hindrances, since the internal potential with a stimulus and without hindrances promotes development and helps each member of the management team to reveal their potential. The potential of each manager increases, and the synergistic effect is strengthened among the members of the team; and that is the key to success, innovation, and creativity (Smith, 2006). Since most authors have different perceptions of the prerequisites and goals of the management team development, the process of the management team development has not been sufficiently described, and its further research issues remain relevant
