Here's your new team... The Friday Deep Dive

Ahoy,

Welcome back to another Friday deep dive!

You don’t always get to choose the teams you join. But either way, you have to work with what you’ve got.

And if the team isn’t performing, it’s on you as the leader to take charge of that.

Remember, you’re responsible for the output of your team, whether you like it or not!

So with that in mind, let’s make sure we are prepared to deal with a situation like this.

Here’s a quick review of this week’s scenario in case you missed it.

You've just joined a new team with a bit of a reputation for underperformance. You can immediately see the team is infected by low morale, lack of clear goals, and poor communication.

1. What would be your first steps in assessing the team's current state and identifying areas for improvement?

2. How would you go about setting new expectations and goals for the team?

3. What strategies can you implement to rebuild team morale and foster a more positive work culture?

I want to make really clear from the beginning, this is not your opportunity to jump in like a drill instructor and start putting everyone in their place.
