The professional thinking of specialists in the social sphere, in our opinion, is based on the following criteria: competence of specialists, personality orientation, psychological flexibility/ rigidity, self-management ability. Flexibility is one of the most important qualities of an effective specialist. In our opinion, flexibility (or the opposite of behavioral rigidity) is a feature that is very difficult to correct.

These results were the basis for the development, testing and integration of elements of psychological flexibility in the team management system.

The usual stereo-typing of thinking has disappeared [2, 6, 9].
