In this episode of Manager Mondays, Lucas and Luna tackle a common but tricky leadership challenge: what to do when a team member refuses tasks by pointing to their job description. Drawing on a real example from a mid-sized SaaS company where a senior engineer cited his contract to avoid a critical bug-fix that fell 'outside his scope', they explore whether rigid role definitions are helping or hurting your team. Lucas breaks down the three-step framework he uses with first-time managers: clarify expectations first, then address the behavior, and finally assess whether the job description itself needs updating. Luna pushes back on the idea that this is always a performance issue, suggesting that sometimes the employee is right to push back. They discuss the difference between a job description as a legal document versus a living guide, and how to rebuild trust after these conflicts. If you've ever heard 'that's not in my job description' and felt stuck, this episode gives you a concrete path forward. #ManagerMondays #PeopleManagement #TeamLeadership #FirstTimeManager #JobDescription #ManagingDifficultEmployees #LeadershipSkills #EmployeeBoundaries #PerformanceManagement #WorkplaceConflict #Delegation #Trust #SaaS #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ManagementFrameworks #Coaching Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
