When a team you manage isn’t jelling, what next steps can you take to bring them to a place of teamwork?

Hi Mathias! 

I’m responsible for all the teams and their leaders in my country. One team, currently without a lead, is struggling, so I’m managing them temporarily.

In a recent retrospective, we identified that members weren’t really working as a team. As you might expect, the team’s motivation is pretty low, and so is their performance.

Discussing these issues openly is a good first step – at least everyone understands the current situation. However, I’d like to ensure that they’re set up for the long term.
