## Resource

In this episode of New Manager Conversations, Lucas and Luna tackle a subtle but crucial skill for new managers: giving credit to your team members effectively. They discuss why spotlighting team members builds trust and motivation, and share concrete tactics like the 'attribution pause' and the 'skip-level shout-out.' The conversation includes real-world examples from a new manager at a mid-size tech company who transformed team morale by consistently redirecting praise. They also cover how to avoid common pitfalls like false modesty or favoritism. If you're a new manager wondering how to balance being the point of contact while lifting your team up, this episode offers practical, low-ego strategies. #NewManager #Leadership #Careers #TeamBuilding #CreditingOthers #Attribution #HumbleLeadership #Management #FirstTimeManager #TeamCulture #EmployeeRecognition #Trust #Motivation #Communication #ManagerTips #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #WorkplacePsychology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
