The mistake people make here (made it!!) is taking things on for the good of the team but in a quiet way. That work either goes unnoticed, or just isn't valued enough - and that's why noone else was doing it. So surface it, make a case for it, show the impact.

You care about being a good manager, you spend time making your team look good, making people in it look good, showcasing their work... Some amount of managing up is being your own manager - get clear on context and impact - and doing the work you do for your team for YOURSELF.

Okay so making a team functional and happy is not a short term thing and _has_ to support (not undermine) delivery. Often short term approaches here will undermine team functioning down the road. So you have figure out the path, the timeframe, all of it here too.

Your job is to define delivering, and set things on a track of improvement. You also need to define the timeframe, the progress markers... all of it. You also need to handle when things don’t go to plan (which they won’t), or fail (which they will).
