Courage Over Comfort—The Leadership Choice That Changes Everything

Every dealership has the same enemy—and it’s not the market. It’s compromise. Every time you choose what’s easy instead of what’s right, you weaken your leadership, erode your culture, and lose the trust of your team.

In this episode of The Dealership War Room, Chris Hunsicker exposes the quiet compromises that destroy momentum—like tolerating toxic high performers or avoiding tough conversations—and shows you why integrity is the ultimate competitive advantage.

In under 9 minutes, you’ll learn:

• The real cost of choosing comfort over courage in daily leadership decisions
• Why toxic high performers cost more than they contribute
• How Brene Brown’s definition of integrity applies directly to dealership leadership
• Three gut-check questions to build a culture of trust, consistency, and growth

Ask yourself: Where are you choosing comfort instead of courage—and what will it cost if you don’t change? Drop your answer in the comments. Love the show? like, rate, review and share
