KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Incompetence is the first clear criteria for needing to assess team changes. If an individual or team are incompetent this cannot be put off.
• People can progress and change under new leadership, so assess if this is possible in a reasonable timeframe.
• High performers can be detrimental if they feed into or create a toxic culture. Culture is more important in the medium to long term of a companies success.
• Personality counts. If there are team members that can’t work cohesively and collaboratively then you need to make some changes.
