Deputy CEO Aurimas: “Our vision is not only a successful, but also a well-tuned team”

MARINO is a young and energetic company, offering not only development-promoting challenges but also career opportunities for all hard-working new employees. Aurimas Margevičius, Deputy CEO, agreed to share his experience on leadership, teamwork and growth opportunities. What do these bring to the company’s employees and clients?

Leadership challenges

Aurimas, who has held a leadership position at MARINO for a few years, says that a large team brings quite a few challenges. “Finding an accord with your team is not always easy. We’re all different, with our own opinions and interests. We’re also a fast-growing company. This means that the team keeps growing and adding new colleagues who need to tune in to the company’s processes.”

He also highlighted task assignment as one of the key challenges. “You need to get to know each person and find a dialogue with them. If your team members love what they do, they reveal their best and achieve the best results possible.”

Communication helps to overcome this challenge. “A warm and friendly atmosphere at work is the key factor to ensure maximum results. I talk to all of my team members and assign tasks in person. My team makes me proud. We’re so well-tuned that it takes one word or even a changed face to understand each other,” says Aurimas.

Decisions are made by the team

According to Aurimas, the key to finding an accord lies in joint decision-making and really listening to everyone’s expectations.

“We make a tight fist, so even the smallest issues are solved by the entire team.”

“Decision-making at MARINO is a joint effort.” Does a growing number of team members make this process harder? Aurimas believes it isn’t a problem. “An increasing number of colleagues means building more teams. Our experience shows that teamwork is most efficient when the team consists of up to five people. Its members complement each other, taking up the tasks that they’re best at. Each team has a leader. All colleagues have different talents, and that’s what makes this job fascinating. We complement each other and thus produce professional results.”

Focus on the growth of employees

“We invest in the development of our employees, frequently organising useful trainings. We also do our best to provide our team with various career opportunities. Each new position is first offered to our team members. We announce an internal tender, with candidates preparing and presenting plans for the new position.”

Asked for examples of building a career at the company, he points at himself. “I began my career at MARINO as a sales manager. I kept improving and climbing the career ladder, eventually becoming Deputy CEO, responsible for other employees, task assignment and the company’s growth. We have many examples of our people becoming managers, masters, or HR staff, and eventually taking up project management or department management positions.”

Aurimas is convinced that investment in staff brings benefits not only to the team, but also to clients. “Our clients receive not only a good service, but also the full support of our professional team. This translates into impeccable task fulfilment. I am sure that MARINO’s modern approach and attention to the growth of our team ensure the highest quality of service, the kind you will keep returning for.”
