two words: write tests.
buy a copy of The Pragmatic Programmer for the office, and encourage teammates to read it. this is precisely what i've done at my current job, except i'm doing it in ksh. i wrote a test library, and have written test cases (in my spare time) for 1100 lines of ksh. i've successfully refactored the code and passed a full suite of regression tests. i've modified the tests to match expected functionality, and am in the process of modifying the code to pass all tests... all the while making the code more reliable and reusable. and i'm training the team on performing tests and using my test library, so when i leave, they'll continue what i've started. if all that doesn't work... i'm out of suggestions.
