<p> </p> <ul><li><strong>Avoid coming in with a pre-conceived plan. Chances are you’re being hired to fill a void and address current challenges that have been highlighted to you. Do not make the mistake of coming to the table with a pre-determined plan based on these challenges. There are other ways to prove yourself and the value you bring to the table right off the bat. Take the time to learn the challenges and the extent of them for yourself. To do so, encourage your team to be completely open with you. In the process, you’ll earn their trust and get to know them on a personal level.</strong></li> </ul><ul><li><strong>Become a sponge. Before you can formulate the correct course of action, you’ll need to learn all aspects of the business quickly. Sit in on as many calls and meetings as you can, and don’t be shy about doing so. Make sure that the team understands that you’re doing it for learning purposes only, so your actions aren’t misconstrued as micromanaging.</strong></li> </ul> <ul><li><strong>Don’t make changes before you have had time to notice patterns. Give yourself time to notice patterns, and ensure that the changes you make address real problems and not one-off happenings. Making too many changes too quickly, especially when it comes to making cuts, may scare the strong players away and lead your team being guarded with you. It is important that they are open with you so that you make informed decisions. Moreover, ensure that key stakeholders who brought you on board are aware of your approach.</strong></li> </ul><ul><li><strong>Give existing team members the respect they deserve.Your relationship with the displaced leader, if they are going to continue on the team, is critical to your transition as the new leader. It is important you give them the respect they need and deserve and that you have a good working relationship with him or her. If the displaced leader is no longer there, make sure conversations with the current team are productive and not simply opportunities to place blame on the previous management.</strong></li> </ul><ul><li><strong>Take note of strengths. If you’re too focused on uncovering room for improvement, you may not see what’s working for the team and the strengths of the talent you have. Learn about their hopes and aspirations for their career path and vision for the company. You may be able to leverage their expertise if the company heads in a different direction.</strong></li> </ul><ul><li><strong>Do not be afraid to be unpopular. Once you are ready to bring about informed changes, do not be too worried about being perceived as the bad guy. It is important that you share your motivations for the changes and the positive impact you expect the changes to have on the team, the business, and other stakeholders.</strong></li> </ul>

Stepping in as the leader of an existing team should be approached with sensitivity and patience, especially when you are new to the company and the team. devote time and energy to establishing how you want your team to work, not just what you want them to achieve.
One of your most important tasks as a team leader is to set ambitious but achievable goals with your team’s input. Make clear what the team is working toward and how you expect it to get there. By setting these goals early on, the group’s decision making will be clearer and more efficient, and you’ll lay the framework of holding team members accountable.
With team's objective in mind learn other members capabilities, their weakness, existing system etc. Then develop your plan and implement it with proper co-ordination and communication with team members. You should also gain confidence of capable team members.
