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 Recover From a Mistake","slug":"how-new-managers-can-recover-from-a-mistake","published_at":"2026-06-14T17:00:15+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-recover-from-a-mistake","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-0052.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/new-manager-conversations/episode-0052.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna walk through what a new manager should do after making a public mistake in their first 90 days. They use a specific case: a new team lead at a mid-size SaaS company who sent an email with incorrect budget figures to the VP of Sales. The episode breaks down the three-step recovery playbook—own, fix, learn—and highlights why silence is the worst response. Lucas shares data from a CCL study on managerial credibility repair, and Luna pushes back on over-apologizing. They also discuss how the same framework applies to smaller slip-ups like forgetting a 1-on-1 or misstating a deadline. Practical, non-obvious advice for leaders early in their tenure. #NewManager #Leadership #MistakeRecovery #First90Days #Credibility #CareerAdvice #Management #ProfessionalGrowth #Apology #Trust #Feedback #Coaching #EmotionalIntelligence #SaaS #CCL #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna walk through what a new manager should do after making a public mistake in their first 90 days.
