Listen Later

Your employees can’t follow your leadership if you’re missing this essential ingredient. Your business becomes directionless, loses key talent, and gets overwhelmed by disengagement. And, you can forget ever cracking the “Best to Work For” list.

That’s where my interview today with Sam D’Arc, who is COO at Zeigler Automotive Group, comes in.  He shares his personal story of how a compelling leadership vision transformed his career and how you can create and leverage one to accelerate the results of your business.

He has over 30 years of service in the automotive industry and become a trusted leader focused on Auto Dealer Operations, creating synergies, competition, and relationships of trust between F&I, Sales, and Service departments.

The Zeigler Automotive Group is one of the largest, privately-owned dealer groups in the U.S. with 78 franchises across 35 locations in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.

The organization also owns and operates Zeigler Motorsports, an 85,000-square-foot motorsports dealership and action park, offering 19 different powersports brands.

Sam is also host of the Driving Vision Podcast.
