I don't see any grammatical errors, but I don't think this statement is very useful:

all-round maintenance of the development of the company

What did that actually involve? It's so general that no one would know what you actually did and would probably dismiss it.

How about 'active involvement in company development through xxxx' then fill in the gap with actual actions.

Edit: If you are in the UK, don't say 'all around' as some suggest, you would be laughed at for your poor use of the language.

The key duties consists of supervision of the staff team and all round maintenance of the developing company...

It should read: Key duties consisted IN the supervision of the staff team and OVERALL maintenance of the development of the company.
I think that the words "maintenance of the" should be left out.

"The key duties were supervising staff and maintaining the company's development."

Shorter is better and the verb forms (supervising, maintaining) are stronger. "Were" is better than the bloated "consisted of."

If the key duty was supervising a particular team as opposed to staff generally (both as individuals and as teams), then you would substitute "the staff team" for the word "staff" in the above. If you were just maintaining the company's development that is one thing. But if by the company's development, you mean that you are advancing its business, then say so, as it is a stonger statement. You would then substitue "developing the company's business" for "maintaining the company's development" above.

Key duties included the supervision of team members and and all-round maintenance and development of the company.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for...but even this is a bit nebulous. The statement around all-round maintenance would seem to indicate that other than supervision of your team members you were also required to maintenance ( facilities? infrastructure? what type of maintenance) also development of the company - how were you setting policy, goals, new product development research... how did you develop.

hope this helps

Ignore that other person and listen to me. It should read: Key duties included the supervision of the staff and general maintenance in the development of the company.

I would say:

Key duties WERE the supervision of the staff team and THE GENERAL maintenance of the development of the company.

need a period at the end .
I'd say all around because all-round sounds like everything is round!

Key duties consisted of the supervision of the staff team and all around maintenance of the development of the company.

You need to put a period at the end. Otherwise it seems correct. It does seem awkward but many job descriptions have awkward phrasing so it's probably not unusual.

Is this sentence a description of something done in the past or is it designed to be an on-going activity? "consisted" is what I'm focusing on here.

Well, "all-round" is not a correct word that I have ever seen in English. The correct usage would be "all around."

Also, how to you "maintain" development? You can support it, or promote it, or contribute to it, but how exactly would you repair or fix it? Perhaps another word would be better here.

Finally, the statement needs to end with a period if it is to be a complete sentence.
