Abstract

The significance of the subject under study is conditioned by the need to resolve the contradictions between modern requirements for managerial personnel and the desire for further self-improvement; social order and opportunities for effective quality management; reproductive and productive nature of professional functions, their previous experience, and the latest developments. The purpose of this study was to cover the mechanism of professional development of a manager, identify the key trends, problems of management of an educational institution, challenges, and to identify opportunities for their solution. For this, a set of theoretical methods was employed, including classification, generalisation, comparative analysis, and literature analysis. The study found that the problem of professionalism and quality of management is currently relevant in the conditions of martial law and post-war situation. The study also found that the success of educational institutions in the context of international rankings is contingent upon the professional self-improvement of the manager-scientist, characterised by a constant desire to be aware of both the creation of innovative approaches to the organisation of the educational process and the impact of international rankings on the parameters of the activity of educational institutions and their image. The results present the most authoritative rankings in the world (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford and Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge and the University of California at Berkeley and California Institute of Technology) and in Ukraine (Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv). The expediency of studying administration as a science and the scientific nature of the management process was substantiated. The study proved that the ability to manage is a prerequisite for the acquisition of relevant skills, knowledge, and abilities to transform competitive relations. The considered aspects suggested that competition stimulates rationality, while creativity encourages an individual to fresh ideas, innovations, and creative activity
