## Resource

Episode 58 of New Manager Conversations tackles the most dreaded hour on any manager's calendar: the weekly team meeting. Lucas and Luna walk through a specific case — a first-time manager at a 200-person logistics software company who inherited a 90-minute status-update marathon that left everyone drained. They break down the three structural fixes that turned it around: changing the agenda format to problem-first, capping presentation time to five minutes per person, and adding a rotating facilitator role. The episode also covers how to handle the senior leader who dominates airtime, why a standing meeting shouldn't always be standing, and the one-question close that tells you whether the meeting was worth having. No theory. Just the move-by-move rebuild of one broken meeting into a tool that actually helps the team make decisions faster. #NewManager #LeadershipBasics #TeamMeetings #MeetingCulture #First90Days #ManagementSkills #CareerDevelopment #AgendaDesign #Facilitation #DecisionMaking #LogisticsSoftware #RemoteTeams #MeetingEtiquette #ManagerTools #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #Leadership Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
