Description

If you keep jumping into every fire, your team will stop bringing hoses.

Too many dealership leaders are stuck in janitor mode, chasing keys, fixing sloppy work, and plugging leaks they didn’t create. It feels like leadership, but it’s really rescue. And rescue doesn’t raise standards; it reinforces helplessness.

In this episode of The Dealership War Room, Chris Hunsicker draws a hard line between cleaning up and commanding. You’ll learn The 3X General Test, a battle-ready framework to stop doing your team’s job, start building leaders, and run your store like an empire, not a repair shop.

Your leadership checklist:

• Give a Clear Order – Accountability without clarity is a setup for failure
• Never Solve the Same Problem Twice – Once is coaching, twice is training, three times is enabling
• Know What’s Yours vs. Theirs – Stop stealing ownership from your team by “saving” them

You’ll discover how to step out of survival mode, strip away your “fix-it” identity, and build a culture where your people take responsibility before you have to step in.

📢 Listen now, then share this with the leader who solves too much. Tell them: “You’re better than cleanup duty. Start commanding.” Stop patching leaks. Start leading like a general.
