When teams avoid confronting a failed promotion

We promoted someone to lead the design team six months ago and it's become clear they don't want to manage people, they just wanted the title and pay bump, but now the whole team is rudderless and we're all pretending everything is fine while projects slip and people get frustrated. No one wants to admit we made a mistake.

What we've seen

You promoted someone who doesn't want to lead, and now the team's adrift while everyone pretends it's fine.
