The scenario is this:
A large division of a company is left without a leader and due to experience and expertise, lets say I am the natural fit. The benefits have the potential to be fantastic provided the group can pull together but here is the problem: If this fails, it could very well mean that the whole nut is broken up and sold off.

- They are made up of 15 individuals, eight of which are managers of various sub-groups all with agendas of their own
- There are turf wars going on all the time, finger pointing and blame and no accountability
- They are some of the most talented, highly educated folks you will find and many are exceedingly passionate about what they do and how they do it
- The market and profit potential are insane if this can be pulled off
- They all play nice nice during meetings and so forth but afterwards they throw each other under the bus in very creative ways
- The division leader prior managed by coercion and fear and it worked with this crowd but new corporate mandates and a new legal outlook has made life more PC, old school is not allowed


So, how to get them all working in the same direction?
