How to Manage an Employee Who Always Volunteers for Extra Work

Lucas and Luna tackle a common people-management challenge: the direct report who says yes to every project, every ask, every last-minute request. They drill into why this behavior can be a trap — not just for the employee's own output and well-being, but for the manager who relies on them. Lucas shares a specific framework called the 'capacity audit' and walks through a real case of a marketing coordinator who was burning out on enthusiasm. Luna pushes back on whether the fix is always limiting scope, and they land on a practical coaching conversation template. If you manage someone who never says no, this episode gives you the language to intervene before the wheels come off. #PeopleManagement #TeamLeadership #FirstTimeManagers #Careers #ManagerMondays #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EmployeeBurnout #Coaching #Delegation #WorkloadManagement #SayingNo #CapacityAudit #ScopeCreep #DirectReport #LeadershipSkills #EmployeeRetention #HighPerformer Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
