Joining a new team is never easy.
You don’t know all the “things” and “isms” that make the team work (or are holding them back).
Whether it is formal or informal, the new team is always waiting for one thing to happen – the leader to emerge – not to assert their dominance or mastery, but the one that helps out team members, that leads by example, listens, takes their lumps, does the grunt work and pushes on.
The Leader might not be the one first appointed, but they are there, somewhere, perhaps even you, just waiting to emerge.
