## Resource

In this episode of New Manager Conversations, Lucas and Luna explore a specific strategy for new managers: conducting deep listening tours in their first 30 days. They break down how to structure one-on-one conversations with each direct report, what questions to ask, and how to avoid the common trap of solving problems too quickly. Using the real-world example of a first-time manager at a mid-sized tech company who turned around a disengaged team in three months, they illustrate how listening builds trust and credibility faster than any action you could take. The hosts also discuss how to balance listening with the pressure to deliver quick wins, and how to transition from listener to leader without losing momentum. #NewManager #First90Days #LeadershipBasics #ListeningTour #Management #TeamBuilding #Credibility #CareerAdvice #Careers #WorkplaceCulture #LeadershipDevelopment #TrustBuilding #DirectReports #Coaching #ManagerTips #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #NewManagerConversations Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
