How can I manage an old team as a first-time manager?

•  learn everything you can—believe me, this is the big key to success as a new manager. Seek out the management tools, resources, and classes that your company offers
• Find a mentor, someone with whom you can confidentially discuss issues as they arise
• your performance will be tied to the performance of your team. This means, if your team fails, you fail. And if they succeed? You can take credit, but you have to share it with the rest of the group, or they won’t be willing to do a great job for you in the future.
• Set up individual meetings with each of your new staff members to understanding their roles

·         First of all, quickly evaluate the team to point their strengths and weaknesses

·         Secure the team’s confidence through proper introduction meetings and knowledge transformation

·         Identify loyal and high performers and motivate them (previous performance appraisal will help), then to identify low performers and categorize the reasons (i.e. salary satisfaction, lack of knowledge/experience/technical … etc.)

·         Mitigate the gap between high and low performers through (trainings, support, mentor and direction

·         Meanwhile, fix the process and procedures and set clear and measurable KPIs so the employee understands his duties and how he is being evaluated

·         Be a role model to all the subordinates

To manage an old team, first you must earn the respect of your team members and become a part of the team and then from there become the leader that can manage and lead the team through thick and thin situations. All of this takes time and patience, very rarely you will hit off in the worst meeting. Do make sure you are approachable and open to suggestions.

• Closer relationship with those around me
• Know what is expected of me
• Understanding of the work environment

Personal communications with team, it very important. If i will understand my team and we will speak on one wave it will help me adaptation in old team. And of-course need respect every employee, listen them, helping. 

The most important thing in this case is the personal communication with the team members before going on the work rules, you have to acquire their trust and build a good relation.

Earn trust, work with them, be their buddy and add value to their sucess. Their sucess will earn you recognisation, trust and sucess. Make them feel special , value their suggestion and work hard to make a sucessful team with core values of organisation valued.

An old team means a team with strong bonds between its members, along with a given way of getting things done. In order to manage such a team, someone should firstly start by bonding with its members, then by demonstrating his/her knowledge on a given matter under hand in order for the team to respect him/her and then start managing it, while introducing small amounts of change, in order to eventually make it "his/her"team.

Try to hear from them a lot about bad points previously faced. Gain their trust by hitting the pains. After that it will be easy to manage them

Give some time to understand what is the current situation and how the work flow is currently set up.

Try to implement some minor changes and check the reactions.

Draft a plan of what you wanna keep and what must change according to your management targets.

Try to inspire the existing team and make them part of your plans.
