If you’re white-knuckling the wheel, you’re out of alignment—your car still moves, but you’re burning energy, not gaining velocity.

EP 141 is your course correction. Chris Hunsicker takes you from hype to high-performance leadership, using values as the steering system that stabilizes decision-making, team management, and growth under pressure. Drawing from a field lesson at Plato’s Academy with Donald Robertson (Stoic expert), you’ll get a battlefield-simple process to clarify your core, build consistency, and convert trust → performance → profit without becoming the roller-coaster boss.

Chris Hunsicker, an executive coach and host of The Dealership War Room, trains leaders to build resilient cultures that win when the market shifts. If you want durable motivation, steady execution, and a team that fights through the fourth quarter, this is your playbook.

Key takeaways (deploy today):

• The Eulogy Exercise: Clarify who you are before you chase what you want.
• Values → Trust → Performance Chain: Consistency beats charisma and drives sales.
• Cross-Generational Leadership: Authenticity scales across Gen Z to veterans.
• The 3-Value Drill: Write three intrinsic values, then audit tomorrow’s decisions against them.
