Part of what I do first at any new employer is ask myself the question, "if I wanted to burn all of this to the ground, how would I do it?" I generally don't share the fact that I'm going through this little thought experiment with my management, but it helps triage what's currently "broken", and gives me a clearer focus on what needs to be fixed.

If I'm thinking about it, I can be assured that someone with differing motivations likely already has, or soon will be thinking about the same.
