Welcome to DrivingSales' "Defining Leadership" podcast, where we explore the evolving landscape of leadership in the automotive industry. Hosted by Bart Wilson and J.D. Mixon, this podcast offers a fresh perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing dealership employees at all career stages.
In this episode, J.D. and Bart delve into the findings of our post-pandemic talent market research project, shedding light on key takeaways and their impact on Millennial and Gen Z employees in the automotive sector. They discuss the current job market's dynamics, the gap between available jobs and qualified candidates, and the nuances of employee satisfaction and engagement.
Our hosts also share personal anecdotes, providing a unique window into their journeys in the automotive industry. J.D., humorously dubbed a "geriatric millennial" by his wife, and Bart bring their diverse experiences to the table. They candidly discuss the challenges and cultural shifts within the automotive world, especially in the context of dealership careers being traditionally viewed as fallback options rather than destinations.
