"I have to find a strategy to fix this development team without managing them directly" Sorry, but you can forget about this. Because if you are not in a managerial position and do not have support from management no matter what you are trying to do to make things better could even backfire on you and could even lead to reprimands or in the absolutely worst case scenario getting you fired. That's why the realistic old geezers around here would recommend people who are in a situation like this to please look around and try to find something better. If you are in the situation that you actually can make decisions and have management support (or can acquire it) then it's a whole different story, ofcourse.
