Description

Your team doesn’t just follow your words; they feel your presence.

And if the part of you that shows up is unstable, inconsistent, or disconnected, you’re quietly sinking your culture no matter how good your closing skills are.

In this episode of The Dealership War Room, Chris Hunsicker breaks down The Anchor Code the four leadership traits proven to keep your team engaged, loyal, and performing at their best, even under extreme pressure.

You’ll learn:

• Compassion – Why noticing effort isn’t weakness, it’s leadership awareness.
• Stability – How emotional regulation builds unshakable trust during chaos.
• Trust – Why every unkept promise erodes culture (and how to fix it).
• Hope – The mission-driven fuel that turns exhaustion into belief.

Packed with science, real-world examples, and mini activations you can deploy today, this episode will help you identify your weakest anchor trait and raise it by just 10% for massive impact.

📢 Listen now, then take the War Room Challenge: Rate yourself on all four traits, circle the lowest, and focus on improving it this week. Raise one anchor, and you’ll lift the whole ship.

Because your team doesn’t need perfection.

They need presence.
