Manager Mondays with Fexingo: People Management, Team Leadership, and First-Time Managers
Every Monday morning, Lucas and Luna sit down in a small manager's office to talk about the craft of people leadership: hiring, firing, giving feedback, running one-on-ones, delegating, motivating, and managing conflict. This show is for the new manager who was promoted last quarter and suddenly oversees three people with three different personalities. It's for the team lead who has to deliver a performance review that's more than 'keep doing what you're doing.' And it's for the veteran who wants to rethink their approach to building psychological safety or running a standup that doesn't waste everyone's time. Lucas brings the data—studies from Gallup, Google's Project Oxygen, HBS casework on team dynamics. Luna brings the on-the-ground cases: the time she managed a remote engineer who stopped responding to Slack, the best hire she ever made because of a single interview question, the firing that taught her more than any promotion. Together they treat people management not as soft skill theatre but as a discipline with evidence, trade-offs, and real consequences. How do you tell a high performer they're burning out without losing them? What do you actually say in a termination conversation? Why does every new manager default to micromanaging—and how do you stop? No scripts, no bullet points, no 'leadership hacks.' Just two managers who've made the mistakes and are still learning. #PeopleManagement #TeamLeadership #FirstTimeManager #ManagerMondays #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #LeadershipLessons #OneOnOneMeetings #FeedbackCulture #HiringAndFiring #RemoteManagement #PsychologicalSafety #PerformanceReviews #Delegation #ConflictResolution #NewManager #ManagementSkills Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
