• Talk to the boss about personal goals and the team in the near future
    • The main problem here is not only to talk about a bright future, but also to find out how the success of the team will be assessed or not
    • It is necessary to set personal goals separately; achieving a team goal does not always lead to personal goals
  • Find out what happened to the last team leader
    • And where did they hide him (joke), if he left for a promotion, then you can go to him
    • If you quit, find out the reason, it can help you set the right goals
  • Introduce yourself to the team as its team leader
    • It is very important to put yourself in front of your colleagues and not try to immediately impose your will
  • Learn the routines, frameworks and mechanisms of the team
    • Start with agile and flexible methodologies, and gradually find your leadership style
  • Start getting to know the team members informally (one-on-one)
    • Each person needs to find their own key, some need control, others need freedom
  • Propose minimal changes to make life easier for the team
    • Get, for example, a normal meeting room, or, for example, remove unnecessary calls
  • Try to earn the trust of the team as a leader through interaction with the boss or the customer
    • Show that the team is important to you and you are ready to work for the benefit of the team
  • Start praising the team for a job well done
    • Not only scold for missing deadlines, but praise for a job well done
