Even if a team is established when starting a new job as a leader they are not established with you. The first thing that should be done with a new team is nothing. What I mean is no changes should be made to the team. It's the first thing they are looking at as a team usually, will the new person want to change everything?
It is a good idea to talk with your boss and suggest that you wish to observe for a few weeks. Yes a few weeks. patterns of people or trends will not begin to happen in the first week or two. As comfort comes back with having someone new around these will reappear. This is the time to take notes of events noticed and how people do different things but these notes should not be taken in front of them. That makes it seem like you are looking for mistakes. Good practices and questionable practices should be noted. This is also a time to start to get to know people.Â
It is a great time to get a tour of the facility so you don't have to ask where everything is and also now become comfortable with the surroundings yourself. This is not a time, except for serious infractions, to apply any discipline. This time should be used for getting organized, taking a look at past reviews, at attendance records, discipline files, projects that the team members have been involved in, and asking questions about where people are headed and working towards. It shows an interest on your part.
Now after a few weeks is the time to introduce what you believe and your expectations. Tell the team what you want and how you view a team. Give them a reference point. Tell them a little, really a little, about yo ground. Also tell them how you will serve them as they do their jobs. It really is about working together to reach the goals.
But in taking this time it sends several messages. You took the time to get to know the team a little, you observed good and not so good situations, it gave you a reference point, and it showed you didn't just come in and change anything. Great way to start off trust.
