The Dealership War Room

Are You Breaking… or Being Broken?

Listen

Description

Most leaders don’t fail in one dramatic moment.

They fail quietly—one small compromise at a time.

In this episode, we expose the 2:00 PM leadership breakdown: the moment when it’s easier to let something slide, skip the follow-up, delay the hard conversation, or say, “I’ll deal with it tomorrow.” Just like a daily Snickers bar, it feels harmless—until you do the math.

Leadership doesn’t collapse.

It erodes.

In this episode, we break down:

Your team isn’t trying to break you—they’re waiting to see if you’ll last.

Every skipped correction, softened standard, or avoided follow-up teaches them whether consistency is real… or seasonal.

The question isn’t whether pressure exists.

The question is whether you reinforce the standard when it’s inconvenient.

Skip the Snickers. Hold the line. And go create some leadership fire. love the show? like, rate, review and share
