If you feel like you barely have time to do what’s expected of you, much less improve your skills as a leader…
“Front-Line Managers Confidently Handle Any Leadership Situation Given Quick, Practical Guidance and Easy-to-Use Tools”
200+ Cheat Sheets, Videos, and Podcasts Packed With
‘In-the-Trenches’ Advice for Busy Managers
Have you ever said or thought…
- “I’m trying my best to be a good manager, but I’ve been left on my own to figure things out”
- “Sometimes I’m confused about how to handle a work situation. There’s so much conflicting advice out there”
- “I want to get promoted but my boss isn’t fully aware of my potential”
- “I really need a mentor – someone who’s on my side, knows what I’m dealing with, and gives me practical, real-life advice”
We hear about these problems every single day.
Here’s Why Managers Often Struggle
We do one-on-one coaching with executives and senior managers in large and mid-sized companies. Our big-business clients don’t hesitate to pay our fees (which are admittedly pretty steep), because we clearly demonstrate the improved performance our coaching creates.
But unless your company is paying, who could afford our coaching?
We’ve noticed executives and senior managers usually have great support (like having us as one-on-one coaches), but middle- and front-line managers are left to fend for themselves. Maybe they’re offered a leadership workshop here and there if they’re lucky, but for the most part they don’t get assistance or advice with their every-day management issues. And they aren’t given any help with developing their management/leadership skills or advancing their careers.
It’s frustrating for us to see so many managers struggling, especially when the solution is so simple!
It’s Like Having Us as a Coach and Mentor…
At a Price Anyone Can Afford
That’s why we decided to create a resource specifically for front-line managers – a members-only website that provides exactly the same advice that we pass along to our one-on-one coaching clients – but at a price anyone can afford.
We want to help you:
- Build your management and leadership skills
- Confidently handle real-life leadership situations
- Move ahead in your career and get promoted
We know you’re already very busy, so you won’t have to show up at a certain time for a meeting, phone call, or workshop. You can access the materials on your own schedule, whenever you have a few minutes to spare. And we make sure our material is concise and to-the-point. Our cheat sheets are only one or two pages long (and often in point form), so you won’t have to spend a lot of time reading. Our videos are under 15 minutes, and there’s even a ‘3-Minute Crash Course’ version of many videos for when you’re really pressed for time.
You get instant access to members-only area of the website, where you can browse, or search for info about a specific topic. Get immediate advice when you’re in a hurry.
That means if you sign up today, you get access to well over 200 cheat sheets, videos, and other immediately useable tools.
It’s easy to find what you’re looking for. After you sign in with your username and password, you’ll be able to move around the site using the members-only links in the right sidebar (under the heading ‘Browse a Topic’). It takes only two clicks to get to the information you need.
I’ve been around a bit, I’ve learned lots (sometimes the hard way) about most management / leadership topics. Even with that said, you guys have GREAT info and insight on the human resource aspect of management.
You’ve provided insight on so many topics. Your information has been priceless! You give PRAGMATIC management info that can be applied on the front line immediately. You take your information beyond describing what “wrong” looks like to describing how to fix it or keep it from becoming wrong in the first place. The delivery of the material is almost humorous and your grasp of the content shows that you take the topic seriously, but not yourself. That’s a great thing and helps you to connect with your customers (works with me, anyway).

You’re probably wondering exactly
what to expect from us.
We’re experienced managers and coaches, so we know first-hand exactly what you’re going through, the questions you have, and the real-life problems you face every day.
Our style is straight-forward: we think it’s important to give you the harsh, unvarnished truth regarding any management situation. We don’t hold back. So our advice often conflicts with what other management and leadership experts are saying. Even though it might be uncomfortable sometimes, we do this because we know what works in real life and we don’t see any reason to shy away from this.
The other thing you should know is that we don’t take ourselves too seriously, unlike some other management experts. We’re professional, but we have a sense of humor and have fun with this. We’ve known each other since we were kids, which will probably be obvious to you when you experience the easy, back-and-forth style of our videos.

P.S. If you’re looking for in-depth, academic treatment of management topics, you’re in the wrong place. Instead, let us do all the reading and sorting through books, magazines, and journal articles. We distill it to the critical information you REALLY need and give it to you in condensed format, often point form. You’ll be able to absorb it in 20 minutes per week or less.
P.P.S As a Wily Manager Member, you’ll get quick, practical advice regarding your real-life management problems. But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of our members have to say:
“These guys are top notch. Very good counsel delivered with a great sense of humor.”
“As a recently promoted manager I have looked far and wide for useful, practical and applicable management advice. This fits the bill each and every time with minimal jargon, and presents the topics in an interesting way.”
“You provide great information and views in a very easy to understand and laid back way.”
“Highly entertaining and very informative/insightful. Thanks!”
