When You Inherit a Difficult Team

Leading the Team You Did Not Choose, and the Turnaround Method for a Team That Works

There is a particular position a person can find themselves in at work that no amount of ambition quite prepares them for: to have been handed the leadership of a team they did not build, that is not working, and that they must somehow turn around.
