"Maybe you were just hired or transferred to this team. Your manager has told you that this team is underperforming, and it's your job to clean it up. It's a delicate situation. As a new manager, you can't make big changes without understanding the team and business. You should set expectations that you will need at least two to three months before taking serious action and six to 12 months before the team starts performing optimally again."
"Noticing a high-performing team is slipping When your team starts to underperform, it may be a reflection of your leadership. An honest self-reflection about your management style can help pinpoint areas for improvement. Maybe you're not providing performance guidelines or the right training to support your team. Your team takes cues from you, so lead by example to improve your performance. People want to do a good job - they just need the right leader to show them how to reach success."
Two common scenarios produce a struggling team: inheriting an already underperforming group and a previously high-performing team that begins slipping. When inheriting a team, conduct careful assessment before major changes, set expectations of two to three months to learn the situation and six to twelve months for optimal performance, and avoid rushing decisions. When a high-performing team slips, perform honest self-reflection about management style, establish clear performance guidelines, provide appropriate training, and model the behavior expected. Diagnose root causes, rebuild team structure and processes where needed, make hard decisions decisively, and energize the team through visible leadership.
