Contemporary competences of managers and their role in building organizational resilience

Purpose: The aim of the article is to present the role and specificity of key managerial competencies in the form of knowledge, skills, attitudes, motivations that modern managers should have and develop in order to effectively build the resilience of the organization in a rapidly changing environment. Design/methodology/approach: The research was aimed at a critical analysis of the phenomenon and was carried out on the basis of an in-depth analysis of domestic and foreign literature as well as synthesis and logical inference. Research limitations/implications: There is no single, universally accepted definition of the concept of organizational resilience in the literature on the subject, but the concept of managerial competence is a fairly well-recognized area. However, there is little research on their development in the context of organizational resilience. The article analyzes the concepts of organizational resilience and the factors influencing it, as well as analyzes the elements that make up contemporary managerial competencies and discusses examples of good practices of their application in the context of building organizational resilience reflecting these elements. Practical implications: The application value of the article is that managers receive specific information on which and what elements of competence to improve from the perspective of strengthening the organization's resilience. Social implications: Modern managerial competencies emphasize managing teams based on cooperation and trust. Such an approach fosters the integration of employees and affects their positive interpersonal relationships, which in turn contributes to building a strong organization. Originality/value: Improving managerial competences is an important condition from the perspective of strengthening strong resilience of the organization. To achieve this, it is necessary to deepen knowledge in the field of crisis management, change management, monitoring global trends, e.g. digital transformation, sustainable development and others. It is also important to develop communication, analytical and strategic skills using digital tools, take care of the development of self-awareness and empathy and cultivate ethical values, as well as orientation towards the implementation of innovations in the organization, openness to change and adaptation to them. The development of these competences will contribute to effective response to crisis situations and quick adaptation to changing environmental conditions.
