Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Fixing a struggling design team starts with diagnosing root causes—like lack of trust or unclear goals—rather than reacting to surface symptoms such as poor morale. Interview teammates individually, identify allies and resistant "liabilities," then tackle one small, fixable problem to build momentum. Trust grows gradually, and leaders themselves may be a major source of team dysfunction.
