Every leader carries two sacks. The one in front—stuffed with everyone else’s flaws. Easy to spot.

Easy to blame. The one behind your blind spots. Heavier, hidden, and costing you velocity.

The leaders who fail point at the front sack. The leaders who win shoulder the one behind.

In EP 145 of The Dealership War Room, Chris Hunsicker (executive coach and host) delivers the fifth and final weapon in the Stoic Leaders Toolkit: how to confront and crush your blind spots before they sabotage execution. Because the truth is, your team already knows your weaknesses; the only one in the dark is you. Ownership builds trust. Trust fuels buy-in. Buy-in drives execution. That’s velocity.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why your blind spots are the real handbrake on performance.
• Gandhi’s “sugar story” and why consistency must start with you.
• The exact feedback question to uncover what you can’t see.
• How humility and ownership transform culture and production.

Insight to Action: Ask one trusted person: “What’s one thing I can’t see in myself that’s costing us execution?” Shut up. Listen. Dig for examples. That one insight could unlock your next level.
