Each episode examines a specific management challenge using real cases: how a tech lead at Spotify handled team pushback on code reviews, why a retail store manager at Patagonia reversed a 15% turnover by changing one-on-one meeting structure, and what data from Gallup's 2023 manager engagement survey reveals about the most common mistakes new leaders make. Lucas brings the research and frameworks — the Gartner manager readiness model, the 30-60-90 day templates from Harvard Business Review, and compensation data from Payscale — while Luna tests them against her own experience managing a marketing team and pushes for the messy human decisions behind the charts. They don't prescribe a single playbook; instead, they argue about when to impose structure and when to let norms emerge, how to handle a former peer who now resists direction, and what to do when your first hire quits in week six. Every conversation ends with a specific tension left unresolved: Is it better to over-communicate in the first month or let your team discover your…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T04:19:01.876952+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/new-manager-conversations-with-fexingo-first-90-days-managing-former-peers-and-leadership-basics-7871636"},"episode":{"title":"How New Managers Can Build a Feedback Culture","slug":"how-new-managers-can-build-a-feedback-culture","published_at":"2026-07-18T17:04:16+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/new-manager-conversations-with-fexingo-first-90-days-managing-former-peers-and-leadership-basics-7871636/how-new-managers-can-build-a-feedback-culture","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/new-manager-conversations-with-fexingo-first-90-days-managing-former-peers-and-leadership-basics-7871636","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/new-manager-conversations/episode-0122.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/new-manager-conversations/episode-0122.mp3","summary":"In episode 122 of New Manager Conversations, Lucas and Luna explore how new managers can cultivate a culture of feedback within their teams. Using the example of Bridgewater Associates' radical transparency approach—and why it mostly doesn't work for normal teams—they discuss practical, lower-risk methods like feedback warm-ups, 'continue/stop/start' templates, and modeling vulnerability by asking for feedback yourself. They also touch on the surprising statistic that only 34% of new managers feel prepared to give feedback (a 2024 LinkedIn survey), and why the first 90 days are the best time to set the norm. Specific, actionable advice for listeners who want feedback to feel less like a performance review and more like a regular part of the workday. #NewManager #FeedbackCulture #LeadershipBasics #First90Days #BridgewaterAssociates #RadicalTransparency #FeedbackWarmUps #ContinueStopStart #ModelingVulnerability #LinkedInSurvey #GivingFeedback #ReceivingFeedback #TeamNorms #Careers #ProfessionalDevelopment #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #NewManagerConversations Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In episode 122 of New Manager Conversations, Lucas and Luna explore how new managers can cultivate a culture of feedback within their teams.
