Driving Leadership Excellence: A Comprehensive Program for Automotive Dealership Leaders

Most people think running a dealership is all about hitting sales numbers. But what if that’s only half the story?

Driving Leadership Excellence is for the ones in the hot seat—General Managers, Sales Managers, Service Managers, and Finance heads—who know the pressure, the pace, and the feeling that something always needs fixing. Written by Jonathan Kaitell, someone who’s lived through the chaos and growth of dealership life, this book doesn’t give you fluff. It gives you what works.

Inside, you’ll learn how to lead a team that actually wants to follow you, how to handle change without burning out, and how to manage the curveballs that never show up on spreadsheets. Think customer complaints, team drama, digital chaos, and the slow shift to electric everything.

It’s not just about learning leadership buzzwords. It’s about knowing what to say when your team’s losing steam. What to do when your numbers drop, and your staff starts walking. How to lead when things get loud and complicated.

What happens when the old playbook stops working?
