How New Managers Can Handle the Spotlight of High Visibility Projects

In episode 151 of New Manager Conversations, Lucas and Luna tackle a scenario every new manager faces eventually: being handed a high visibility project that puts you and your team under the microscope. They unpack the specific pressure of leading a project that senior leadership is watching, how to manage up without losing your team's trust, and why visibility can be a double-edged sword for a new manager. Drawing on the story of a first-time manager who ran a cross-functional launch with a tight deadline and a skeptical VP, they walk through practical steps: setting clear expectations with your boss, protecting your team from the spotlight, and turning visibility into a career asset rather than a stressor. They also discuss the importance of documenting wins and the subtle art of giving credit while still getting noticed. If you're a new manager who's just been handed a big project and you're wondering how to keep your composure and your team's morale, this episode is for you. #NewManager #HighVisibilityProjects #ManagingUp #First90Days #Leadership #CareerGrowth #ProjectManagement #TeamMorale #ExecutiveVisibility #StakeholderManagement #CrossFunctional #Micromanagement #Delegation #SuccessMetrics #CareerAdvice #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
