The Walk Around

S02E03 - Leadership Secrets from a Navy Seal


Listen Later

What do Navy Seals executing combat tactics have in common with running a car dealership? In a word, leadership.

Best-selling author and decorated former Navy Seal officer Leif Babin sits down with us to share battle-worn lessons that will help unlock your most effective, efficient dealership.

In this episode, Leif answers pressing dealer questions like:

  • What does “extreme ownership” mean? 
  • How can you solve business problems with leadership?
  • What was one of your biggest mistakes on the battlefield that you still learn from today?
  • What happens when leaders miss the big picture?
  • Can you fail at being a good leader if you aren’t a good follower?
  • What was a great dealership experience you had recently and why?
  • Do the best dealerships build tactical or strategic relationships with customers?
  • How can “decentralized command” help your dealership grow?

In this episode, Leif unpacks his best leadership advice that you can use immediately. “It’s easy to get sucked into what we’re doing, our daily tasks...and forget about the bigger picture, the other people that depend on us...the other resource we can utilize to help us be successful. Every leader...needs to be thinking about that all the time...It’s about the overall team and the overall mission.” Don’t miss this opportunity to learn critical strategies for leadership success straight from a Navy Seal.
