You’d never call your star quarterback a failure for one bad pass, so why do you torch yourself for one bad day?

Elite leadership breaks when you run two standards: grace for others, punishment for yourself. In EP 142, I hand you the Double Standard Test, a Stoic, field-ready tool that unifies your operating system so your decision-making, team management, and performance stay lethal under pressure. One standard. For them and for you. That’s how you build resilience, confidence, and a high-performance culture.

I’m Chris Hunsicker—executive coach and host of The Dealership War Room, and I train leaders to create consistent execution, real accountability, and growth that lasts. This episode gives you the mindset shift and the simple steps to stop the internal firefight and lead through fire.

Deploy these takeaways:

• The Double Standard Test: What do you value in a great friend, and are you giving yourself the same standard?
• Self-Compassion = Resilience: How high performers recover faster and sell stronger.
• One Standard Leadership: Courage, patience, discipline for you and your team.
• Weekly Target Drill: Circle your #1 inconsistency and fix it in 7 days.
