Management team. An effective management method and how to apply it

Today we will tell you about the Management Team management method, which we actively practice in our company.

In the world practice, the Management team is a new approach to managing and organizing the solution of business problems in a rapidly changing environment. It was also formed as a response to growing competition. Fortune companies include “collaboration and teamwork at the highest management positions” in their development strategy.

For us, the Management team implies: organization and management of activities, mutual control, mutual assistance and interchangeability, setting common values and goals, collective responsibility, development and use of both individual and group potentials.

In a word, the formation of a common vision with the team of what the result should be is the only true way for the development of the company. The joint participation of managers with the head in the management of the company, as well as the competent use of the potential of each employee is a modern approach to building a team.

For the Adler Management team, this is an adaptation to the changing market “climate”. These are the inevitable rules of the game when your partners are major global manufacturers.

The company’s management visits one of the company’s branches in the country on a monthly basis. The first day of the visit is dedicated to outlets visit. This is a kind of external audit of the quality of the branch, but unlike regular audits conducted by supervisors, the company’s management monitors the presence of distributed products in retail outlets, as well as its storage in warehouses. The goal is to identify deficiencies and eliminate them.

Once audit is completed, the company’s management meets with branch employees to discuss existing problems. At this meeting, employees share their opinions and wishes regarding work processes, as well as receive answers to their questions. This is necessary for effective information exchange between employees and management, as well as creating a favorable environment of openness and trust.

The next day of the visit is dedicated to the presentations of the heads of each department, where they talk about projects, the work done during the month, teams and plans for the future. This helps the company’s management to keep abreast of events, deadlines, as well as important projects.

Summing up the experience of introducing the Management Team, it became obvious to us that our company was able to successfully use this method of management. The objective reality is to move forward this direction. We will increase the competitiveness of our business, improve both the operational processes within the company itself and the understanding between departments. And most importantly, we will form a common vision of the company’s goals and values, increase the likelihood of making more elaborate, high-quality decisions and the speed of their implementation.
