If it’s a simple skills gap, the main costs are time and quality, with one or both slipping depending on the level of latitude allowed.

If it’s a values gap, politicking comes to play, nobody helps, and everyone walks on egg shells.
In the worst case scenario, where skills are lacking and values are out of whack, you have a perfect storm. There’s unlikely to be much mucking in together, the gaps will be obvious and the chasms will get wider.
