Missing deadlines is one of the most common and hardest challenges for new managers. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down how to diagnose the real cause behind repeated late submissions — whether it's overcommitment, poor prioritization, or a skills gap — and offer a structured coaching conversation you can adapt. They walk through a real scenario involving a marketing coordinator named Priya who missed three consecutive campaign delivery dates. Lucas shares the 'time audit' technique, the 'promise vs. estimate' distinction, and how to set up a 30-day checkpoint without damaging trust. Luna pushes back on the idea that deadlines are always the employee's fault, and they discuss when a deadline problem is actually a resource or scope problem. This episode is for any manager — first-time or veteran — who has felt the tension between accountability and empathy. #DeadlineManagement #MissedDeadlines #CoachingConversations #Accountability #Empathy #PerformanceManagement #LeadByExample #TrustBuilding #TimeManagement #Prioritization #FirstTimeManager #CareerAdvice #ProfessionalDevelopment #TeamLeadership #PeopleManagement #ManagerMondays #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
