How to Find a Mentor When You Are a New Manager

Managing people for the first time is one of the biggest career transitions, yet most new managers receive little training. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore why the first 90 days as a manager are the perfect time to seek a mentor—and how to find one who won't just tell you what to do, but will help you think like a leader. They discuss the surprising statistic that 60% of new managers fail within their first 24 months, and why mentorship can cut that failure rate dramatically. Using the case of a first-time manager at a mid-size tech firm, they break down three specific types of mentors every new manager needs: a process mentor, a political mentor, and a personal mentor. Plus, they offer a simple script for approaching a potential mentor without feeling awkward. Whether you just became a manager or you're expecting the promotion soon, this episode gives you a concrete roadmap to get the guidance you need. #NewManager #FirstTimeManager #Mentorship #CareerAdvice #Leadership #Management #CareerTransition #CareerMentor #Sponsorship #ProfessionalDevelopment #WorkplaceAdvice #CareerGrowth #MentorTypes #ManagerFailRate #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
