Hi, I'm taking over a new department and as per what my boss told me, the team I will be managing is weak beside one or two employees, I plan not to make any quick changes as I need to maintain stability, what suggestions you can give me to make a change within the team members and to run evaluation on everyone? As well as keeping the team together through the change and make everything smooth? Thanks
Hey,
One thing that I would do, if possible, is to try and get some time with everyone on the team individually. Work out what sort of challenges they are facing, what they like, what the dislike, etc. Also, take the time to hear them as 'people'. Furthermore, spend time communicating what your values are, why they are important to you and what your 'philosophy' of managing/leading is. In my experience this makes the transition much easier for everyone.
I really hope it goes well! All the best.
