You're 6 months into a new role and the team you worked hard to build is gelling and expanding. Just when you're settling into a comfortable rhythm, your manager comes to you:

1. Manager: The web team is in trouble and I need your help.
2. You: What kind of help? 
3. Manager: Replace the lead and put out the fires. 
4. You: You're asking me to fix a team led by the most senior manager in the org, and its 3 times the size of the team I currently manage? 

6 months later, you hand off the team to a new leader in the best shape this team has ever been in.

During this roundtable discussion - led by Zhuang (Strong) Liang, Director of Engineering @ Affirm - we'll share stories and insights from various team rescues and identify best practices which made the rescues possible.
