I recently took over a team from a different tribe, my approach was to observe
what the team was doing and how I could best help them.

line manager and he validated my concerns and said that he will likely get
another developing in performance review and be put on a PIP.

observed and how his not meeting expectations, I was pretty sure, this person
was checked out and was likely heading for a difficult performance review

individual, they opened up and start to share their difficulties they were
having. This then allowed me reach out the necessary teams to get them the
support they needed.

on track for a good performance review
