Management Development in Low-Income Countries: Challenges and Strategies for Creating Future Managers

Abstract

The level of monitoring among low-ranking employees and organizational leaders is referred to as management. Successful managers, who sit between effective leadership and efficient staff, are crucial to organizational success. There are two ways to become a manager: via the ranks or by outside accomplishments. To fulfill corporate goals and engage staff, managers must have certain knowledge, skills, and abilities. There are various causes of an institution's inefficiency, but the most fundamental is a management issue. In low-income countries, this management problem originates from the government's inability to plan ahead of time for preparing the future managers in charge of the institutions. Managers assigned by the government to fill the position are unaware of the institution's current situation, have an inadequate educational background, are unfamiliar with the workforce, have an insufficient understanding of the institution's work, entirely misunderstand the institution's culture, and face communication challenges. Managers are also assigned to positions as a result of their political beliefs and social connections, rather than their professional abilities. Because of this reason the allocated managers did not go through the procedure and did not comprehend the institution's overall condition. As a consequence, they will be unable to adequately manage the facilities and will be dismissed. The solution to this challenge is to identify people who have progressed from low-level to top-level management among existing employees and to train and supervise future managers today.
