Description

You didn’t set the tariffs. You didn’t raise the interest rates. You didn’t botch the supply chain.

But you do control your urgency, your team’s execution, and the culture you build every single day.

In Episode 50 of The Dealership War Room, Chris Hunsicker (executive coach and host of Leadership Fire) equips leaders with the Control Compass, a battlefield framework to stop wasting energy on uncontrollables and start doubling down on what moves the needle.

While other managers panic about tariffs, inflation, and OEM constraints, elite leaders stay locked in, focused, and tactical. This is how you lead through chaos and win when the market screams.

Inside this milestone episode, you’ll learn:

• Why external pressure isn’t the problem—your reaction is.
• The 4 Zones of the Control Compass and which one fuels growth.
• How to shift your focus from noise to execution, fast.
• A 3-question challenge to reset your leadership in real time.
