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 Lead a Team Through a Reorganisation","slug":"how-new-managers-can-lead-a-team-through-a-reorganisation","published_at":"2026-07-08T17:13:00+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-lead-a-team-through-a-reorganisation","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-0102.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/new-manager-conversations/episode-0102.mp3","summary":"Episode 102 of New Manager Conversations tackles one of the hardest tests for a first-time manager: leading a team through a reorganisation. Lucas walks through a real scenario based on a mid-size tech company where a new manager named Priya was told her five-person team would be absorbed into a larger group, with two roles eliminated. Lucas and Luna break down the concrete moves Priya made in her first 90 days — from gathering information privately before the announcement, to framing the change with her team, to negotiating for her people in one-on-ones with her new boss. They discuss the emotional arc of reorgs, the importance of separating what you can control from what you can't, and how to rebuild trust when your team feels betrayed by the company. Luna shares a counter-example from a friend whose manager stayed silent, and they compare what that cost. No theory — just a specific playbook for a moment every manager will face eventually. #NewManager #Reorg #Leadership #TeamDynamics #First90Days #CareerAdvice #ManagingChange #Trust #Communication #Negotiation #PriyaStory #Podcast #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ManagementBasics #OrganizationalChange #Layoffs Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 102 of New Manager Conversations tackles one of the hardest tests for a first-time manager: leading a team through a reorganisation.
