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 Use One-on-Ones as Coaching Tools","slug":"how-new-managers-can-use-one-on-ones-as-coaching-tools","published_at":"2026-06-10T04:53:45+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-use-one-on-ones-as-coaching-tools","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-0042.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/new-manager-conversations/episode-0042.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how new managers can transform their weekly one-on-ones from status updates into genuine coaching sessions. They anchor the discussion on a concrete framework: the '80/20 rule' for one-on-ones — 80% listening and asking questions, 20% directing. Lucas shares a specific example from a first-time manager at a mid-sized SaaS company who cut her own talking time from 70% to 20% and saw team engagement scores rise by 15 points in two quarters. Luna pushes back on the idea that less talking means less leadership, and they walk through three practical question types: discovery questions, reflection questions, and ownership questions. The episode also touches on how to handle a direct report who resists being 'coached' and wants answers instead. No generic advice — just a tight, actionable angle for any new manager trying to build a coaching habit from day one. #NewManager #Coaching #OneOnOne #Leadership #First90Days #Management #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ListeningSkills #EmployeeEngagement #SaaS #QuestioningTechniques #TrustBuilding #FeedbackCulture #Delegation #GrowthMindset #TeamDevelopment Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how new managers can transform their weekly one-on-ones from status updates into genuine coaching sessions.
