Description

You’re not on track for your goals. You’re on track for your patterns.

Most leaders don’t miss targets because they lack ambition; they miss because their daily patterns quietly poison execution.

It’s like plugging an address into GPS… and then ignoring every single turn.

Ambition doesn’t override bad navigation.

In this episode of The Dealership War Room, Chris Hunsicker breaks down the 5 toxic leadership patterns that sabotage growth: Firefighter, Hero, Ghost, Sprint-and-Stall, and the Drama Loop, and gives you the framework to recalibrate your Execution GPS so your habits finally match your goals.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why patterns matter more than plans (and how they silently dictate results).
• The 5 destructive leadership patterns crippling dealerships and how to break them.
• The 3 critical components of an Execution GPS: Destination, Starting Point, Pattern Stack.
• A simple step you can take today to reset, recalibrate, and lead with clarity instead of chaos.

Chris Hunsicker, host of The Dealership War Room and veteran leadership coach, delivers a tactical playbook to stop running expensive wishes and start executing goals with precision.
