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 Give Feedback That Actually Lands","slug":"how-new-managers-can-give-feedback-that-actually-lands","published_at":"2026-06-20T17:06:01+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-give-feedback-that-actually-lands","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-0064.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/new-manager-conversations/episode-0064.mp3","summary":"Giving feedback is one of the hardest skills for a new manager. But there's a framework that makes it easier: the Situation-Behavior-Impact (SBI) model. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down SBI with a concrete example — an engineer who keeps derailing team meetings with off-topic tangents. They walk through how to prepare the observation, how to deliver it without triggering defensiveness, and how to follow up. Lucas shares why vague praise like 'good job' is almost useless, and Luna pushes back on whether SBI can feel too scripted. By the end, you'll have a repeatable structure for feedback conversations that actually change behavior — without damaging the relationship. #NewManager #Feedback #SBI #SituationBehaviorImpact #Leadership #Management #TeamCommunication #ConstructiveFeedback #BehavioralFeedback #ManagerTips #First90Days #Careers #Business #LeadershipSkills #WorkplaceCommunication #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Giving feedback is one of the hardest skills for a new manager.
