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 Run One-on-Ones That Actually Work","slug":"how-new-managers-can-run-one-on-ones-that-actually-work","published_at":"2026-07-09T17:08:53+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-run-one-on-ones-that-actually-work","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-0104.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/new-manager-conversations/episode-0104.mp3","summary":"Episode 104 of New Manager Conversations with Fexingo tackles the single most underused tool in a new manager's toolkit: the weekly one-on-one. Lucas and Luna break down why most one-on-ones are a waste of time—and how to fix them. They walk through a concrete structure from manager coaching veteran Kim Scott, including the 'state of the union opener,' the five-minute rule for listening, and the one question that turns a status update into real coaching. Lucas shares a surprising stat from a 2023 Harvard Business Review study: managers who use a simple agenda template see 40 percent higher team engagement scores within three months. Luna pushes back on the 'weekly meeting creep' and they settle on a 25-minute formula that works for remote and in-person teams. If you're a new manager drowning in calendar invites that don't move the needle, this episode is your reset. #NewManager #OneOnOnes #Leadership #Coaching #KimScott #RadicalCandor #ManagerTraining #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #First90Days #TeamEngagement #ManagementBasics #HarvardBusinessReview #AgendaTemplate #DirectReports #ListeningSkills #RemoteTeams Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 104 of New Manager Conversations with Fexingo tackles the single most underused tool in a new manager's toolkit: the weekly one-on-one.
