Can you lead a struggling team to success?

Being asked to lead a team that isn’t entirely performing invites many open-ended questions and challenges.

Hi Mathias,

I recently started leading a new team, and things are going well. Now, my boss wants me to take charge of an underperforming team. I’m not sure whether stepping into this role is the right move or if it might have negative repercussions for me. I’m unsure if this is a chance for growth or if it’s something that will wear me down. 

Thanks,

Robin

Hi Robin,

I understand your hesitation: turning around a team is a special kind of challenge. The risk of burning out is very real, as is the risk of failing to lead them to calmer waters.
