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 Set Boundaries with Their Old Team","slug":"how-new-managers-can-set-boundaries-with-their-old-team","published_at":"2026-07-07T17:09:56+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-set-boundaries-with-their-old-team","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-0099.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/new-manager-conversations/episode-0099.mp3","summary":"Episode 99 of New Manager Conversations tackles one of the hardest transitions: going from peer to boss and needing to set boundaries with people who were once your equals. Lucas and Luna break down the specific moment when a new manager has to say 'I can't be in that group chat anymore' or 'I need you to come to me with problems, not just vent.' Using the real example of a marketing team lead who took over from a beloved manager, Lucas explains why unclear boundaries are the number one cause of resentment in the first 90 days. Luna pushes back on the idea that boundaries mean being cold, and they land on a practical framework: separate the relationship from the role without killing the relationship. Concrete scripts included for declining after-hours chats, redirecting gossip, and handling a former peer who tests limits. No theory, just what to say on Tuesday morning. #NewManager #First90Days #Boundaries #PeerToBoss #LeadershipBasics #ManagementAdvice #WorkplaceDynamics #CareerGrowth #TeamManagement #ConversationalLeadership #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #SoftSkills #ManagerTips #OfficeRelationships #TransitioningManagers #LeadWithConfidence Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 99 of New Manager Conversations tackles one of the hardest transitions: going from peer to boss and needing to set boundaries with people who were…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":626,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/new-manager-conversations-with-fexingo-first-90-days-managing-former-peers-and-leadership-basics-7871636/episodes/how-new-managers-can-set-boundaries-with-their-old-team/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/new-manager-conversations-with-fexingo-first-90-days-managing-former-peers-and-leadership-basics-7871636/how-new-managers-can-set-boundaries-with-their-old-team.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
