Description

“You’re too competitive.” Ever been told that, like it’s a weakness?

Here’s the flip: if you’re not competing, you’re coasting.

And coasting is just drifting with better branding.

In this episode of The Dealership War Room, Chris Hunsicker exposes the real reason you’re competitive and why it’s not about crushing others, but about beating yesterday’s version of yourself. Competition isn’t arrogance. It’s an agency. And when harnessed right, it builds teams instead of breaking them.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Why the scoreboard is feedback, not your identity.
• How to channel competitiveness into a culture that lifts, not cuts.
• Why “connection vs. competition” is a false choice and how the best leaders do both.
• A War Room Challenge that turns competitiveness into daily growth fuel.

Chris Hunsicker, battle-tested leadership coach and host of The Dealership War Room, equips leaders to reframe competition as a gift and use it to drive high-performance cultures.
