Mike Luner: Building a Winning Dealership Culture through Leadership
Hey, Keep The Changers! After a brief break from guests, we’re diving back in with someone who’s as authentic as it gets when it comes to leadership in the dealership world. In today’s episode, I sit down with my longtime friend, Mike Luner—a guy whose journey through the automotive industry has been nothing short of inspiring.
Imagine stepping into a dealership where leadership isn’t just about numbers or authority, but about building trust, guiding people with patience, and creating an environment where everyone feels valued. Mike’s done it all—from his days as a GM in the Bay Area to becoming a partner at a Toyota dealership in Missouri. And he’s been through it all, too—the highs, the lows, and those defining moments that truly shape a leader.
We dig deep into the heart of Mike’s leadership philosophy—how he keeps his team motivated, why patience and consistency matter, and his “attitude is everything” approach to leading through any challenge. We even talk about how our industry’s wild past shaped us into the leaders we are today. For Mike, it’s about so much more than the title; it’s about giving his people the tools to thrive—even if it means they go on to lead their own stores.
So, whether you’re in the automotive world or just looking to level up your leadership game, this episode will have you rethinking what it really takes to lead. It’s about patience, trust, and a whole lot of heart. And as someone who’s walked alongside Mike on this journey, I can tell you, there’s wisdom here you don’t want to miss.
