What if the biggest breakthroughs in your dealership have nothing to do with inventory, rates, or traffic, but everything to do with you?

In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on the real mistakes managers make and the simple shifts that can completely transform your culture, your people, and your results.

Today we’re diving deep into material straight from my upcoming book, “Leadership in the Dealership: Mistakes Managers Make”. It is a collection of insights that comes from forty years inside showrooms, training rooms, crisis meetings, coaching sessions, and team huddles. Nothing here is theory. Everything here is lived experience.

What we explore in this episode

You will hear me unpack the most common leadership traps that quietly destroy momentum inside a dealership and the practical solutions that will help you build a culture you can be proud of. We walk through:

• Why failing to cast a clear vision kills more careers than a bad market
• The hard truth about avoiding tough conversations
• The difference between managing and leading
• Why toxic high performers are the biggest threat to your culture
• How structured daily training, accountability, and real coaching transform results
• The power of self awareness, vision, and personal growth

This episode is designed to help you look at your store, your people, and your leadership through a clearer lens. These are the quiet shifts that create massive change over time. The small decisions that alter culture. The everyday habits that elevate results.

If you want the free copy of the book before it releases, listen to the end and send me an email. I would love to put it in your hands.
