Modern management has increasingly attracted the attention of executive and organizational systems in recent decades. The application of its key components, such as systems thinking, contingency decision-making, the importance of leadership and effectiveness, goal and strategy setting, motivation, and self-regulation, constitutes part of the success factors for today’s human resource managers.
Preservation, restoration, and protection of historical buildings are among the fundamental objectives in the field of cultural heritage. This descriptive–survey study, conducted through a qualitative–analytical method and based on the author’s field experience in supervising 25 projects on the conservation, restoration, and documentation of architectural decorations in historical buildings across Khorasan Razavi province between 2007 and 2016, demonstrates that restoration teams are often composed of academic experts, traditional craftsmen, or a blend of related competencies, each possessing a unique insight and professional commitment to the authenticity of the buildings.
Managers who identify the most qualified individuals and adopt a participatory management approach not only achieve better outcomes in the given projects but also ensure job satisfaction, productivity, synergy, and the professional growth of their teams. Furthermore, they establish sustainable career paths and create opportunities to train and nurture skilled groups for future specialized projects.
