Description

Too many new leaders waste energy trying to look good instead of getting better.

They cover weaknesses, fake confidence, and posture instead of practicing. And it kills their growth and their team’s culture.

In this episode of The Dealership War Room, Chris Hunsicker exposes the trap of proving versus improving and gives you the field-tested system to shift from protecting your image to multiplying your impact.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Why “fix it, don’t fake it” is the leadership law that builds trust and accelerates growth.
• The 3 battlefield tools that combine grit + growth:
• A Progress Scoreboard that turns goals into adjustments.
• A daily question that kills ego and fuels improvement.
• The Resilience Ritual that turns every failure into fuel.

How to install a culture where feedback drives results and excuses don’t survive.

Chris Hunsicker is a battle-tested leadership strategist, equipping operators to win with grit, growth, and relentless execution under pressure.
