Who this is for:

  • New supervisors and managers who weren't trained for this
  • Leaders hoping to retire before really having to deal with AI
  • Leaders who don't trust AI
  • Anyone who wants to stay in charge while their team quietly upgrades
  • Managers who don't have time for a 10-part course

Who this is NOT for:

  • People who want to learn how to use AI themselves (this is about managing it, not using it)
  • Leaders looking for company-wide AI policy (this is for frontline managers)
  • Anyone wanting legal/compliance advice (this is practical management, not legal guidance)

The no-nonsense toolkit for supervisors and managers who don't use AI but need to manage teams who do. Get boundaries, scripts, and a system in 12 pages.

You don't need to become an AI expert. You just need to manage it.

If your team is suddenly cranking out work faster, their writing sounds weirdly polished, or you're pretty sure they're using ChatGPT but don't know what to do about it — this guide is for you.

What's inside:

  • The 3-Bucket Rule: Green (safe to use), Yellow (ask first), Red (never use). Print the cheat sheet, keep it on your desk, done.
  • 3 Plug-and-Play Scripts for the conversations you're avoiding: "How did AI help you here?" / "Show me the before and after" / "If you're using AI, tell me"
  • The 30-Second Review Checklist so you can spot AI-assisted work without becoming the AI police
  • Telltale Phrases That Scream ChatGPT — the actual words/patterns that give it away
  • Case Studies: What worked, what didn't, what nearly cost someone a $2M account
  • Ready-to-Use Templates: AI Use Conversation Log + Spot-Check Log (protect yourself if this escalates)
  • The "I Don't Have Time to Review Everything" Answer: What to always review, what to spot-check, what to never touch

    What you get:

    • 12-page PDF (print page 1, keep it on your desk)
    • Immediate download
    • For individual use (contact [email protected]m for team/company licensing)

    The bottom line: AI isn't cheating. It's just a new tool. Your job isn't necessarily to use it — it's to manage it.

    This guide gives you the boundaries, scripts, and system to do that without becoming an AI expert, micromanaging your team, or letting someone accidentally paste a client contract into ChatGPT.
