Summary
Episode 102 of New Manager Conversations tackles one of the hardest tests for a first-time manager: leading a team through a reorganisation. Lucas walks through a real scenario based on a mid-size tech company where a new manager named Priya was told her five-person team would be absorbed into a larger group, with two roles eliminated. Lucas and Luna break down the concrete moves Priya made in her first 90 days — from gathering information privately before the announcement, to framing the change with her team, to negotiating for her people in one-on-ones with her new boss. They discuss the emotional arc of reorgs, the importance of separating what you can control from what you can't, and how to rebuild trust when your team feels betrayed by the company. Luna shares a counter-example from a friend whose manager stayed silent, and they compare what that cost. No theory — just a specific playbook for a moment every manager will face eventually. #NewManager #Reorg #Leadership #TeamDynamics #First90Days #CareerAdvice #ManagingChange #Trust #Communication #Negotiation #PriyaStory #Podcast #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ManagementBasics #OrganizationalChange #Layoffs Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
