Summary
Episode 100: Luna and Lucas tackle a challenge every new manager faces: who do you turn to for honest, unbiased advice when you can't go to your boss or your old peers? They explore the concept of a 'personal board of directors' — a small, handpicked group of mentors and peers from inside and outside your organisation. Lucas shares the story of a first-time manager at a mid-sized tech firm who, after a disastrous all-hands presentation, reached out to three people: a former boss, a peer in a different department, and a mentor from a previous industry. The episode breaks down what each person brought to the table and how the manager used that council to course-correct. No generic advice. No 'just find a mentor' platitudes. A specific, repeatable framework for building your own advisory network — even if you're introverted, even if you're the only new manager in your company. #NewManager #PersonalBoardOfDirectors #Mentorship #LeadershipAdvice #CareerDevelopment #First90Days #PeerSupport #ManagerTips #WorkplaceAdvice #LeadershipGrowth #CareerStrategy #Fexingo #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #Podcast #Episode100 #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
