Description

If you’re stuck in the trenches, you’re not leading, you’re just another soldier with a fancier title.

The battlefield doesn’t need another hero chasing fires.

It needs a commander directing the mission.

And the difference between a burned-out GM and a growing, disciplined store isn’t talent, it’s whether the leader runs their day from a command post or the chaos of the floor.

In this episode of The Dealership War Room, Chris Hunsicker reveals how to step out of the trenches and into command. With the 3 Command Post Moments (Morning Brief → Midday Adjustment → End-of-Day Debrief), you’ll learn to direct resources, control focus, and drive execution at scale—without burning yourself out.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why solving problems with your own time caps your growth.
• How command post leadership transforms chaos into clarity.
• The 3 traps that sabotage leaders: Hero Leader Illusion, Invisibility Problem, and Failure to Adjust.
• A repeatable system to keep your team aligned, productive, and on-mission all day.

Chris Hunsicker is a battle-tested strategist and dealership leadership coach equipping leaders to run stores like generals, not exhausted firefighters.
