Make an audit of internal processes
First of all, you must find out how the team currently works and define where the weaknesses of its processes lie. Identify how the internal systems of the whole team function, then repair or reorganise key elements of the processes.
Set up new communication channels
Effective communication, clear-cut division of roles and speed of work are key to the success of the whole team. Examine in detail the communication channels currently in use and set up new, simpler and functional ones.
Unite the team using a powerful, common vision
No team can work together and reach a common goal if it lacks a unified, shared vision its members can look up to. Set up such a vision for your team without trying to sugarcoat anything: be transparent and honest, and offer a realistic plan for what the team can reach and when.
Support what works in the team
Do not focus only on repairing the non-functional components of the current system. Bring also a positive attitude to the team and support the things in it that work. For instance, if there is a good atmosphere, camaraderie and friendship in the team, use this to your advantage as a basis for the changes you want to implement.
