The 4 Leadership Laws That Will Make or Break Your Dealership
In this solo episode of Keep The Change, I’m diving into something I didn’t plan... but was prompted by that good ol’ still small voice. You know the one. The voice that whispers, “Do this,” and you want to say, “Darn it,” because you know it’s going to stretch you. That voice led me back to one of the most powerful resources in my leadership journey: John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.
But we’re not covering all 21—just four that could quietly be shaping (or stalling) your team’s performance right now.
We unpack what your leadership lid actually is, how it affects your store’s results, and why some dealerships with the same inventory and location are selling 3x more than others. Spoiler: it’s not the salespeople.
We also get into:
- Why trust is more valuable than skill (and why your people may not trust you as much as you think)
- The real difference between surviving the month and winning
- How your daily priorities are either growing people—or just keeping the wheels spinning
I’m sharing real stories from dealerships I’ve worked with, the hard lessons I learned in my early leadership days, and the one uncomfortable question every leader should be asking themselves this week.
If you’ve ever looked at two stores with the same inventory and wondered why one’s selling 300 cars while the other is stuck at 100… this is the conversation you need to hear.
Let’s dig into that. This episode might just be the mirror we all need.
Oh—and if you want to go deeper, join me Wednesday, August 6th at 9PM Eastern for the first session of the 3-week Leadership Workshop. We’re not just learning—we’re transforming.
