Team Building When a New Manager Takes Over

Session goals that help

• Surface expectations safely
• Clarify decision rights
• Practice feedback language
• Build early wins as a unit

Tone

Do not force loyalty theatre. Focus on how the team will work together under the new leadership reality.

Follow-through

Agree two team norms and review them after two weeks.

Support path

Combine a team session with supervisory skill modules if the manager is new to people leadership.
