🔥 Wake up, industry! 🔥 The car market is cruising toward a cliff with inventory swelling to historic highs while interest rates soar to a zenith we've not dared to face since the disco days of the 80s and early 90s. This mix? It's not just volatile; it's a ticking time bomb. And here's the kicker: our leadership decks are filled with fresh faces and newly minted titles - brilliant minds who've navigated the calm but are now staring into the storm of their careers, untested by the trials of yesterday. This is our moment to pivot, to redefine resilience. Let's not just weather this storm; let's ride it. To every manager who's never felt the heat of crisis: the time to step up is now. Let's show what we're made of. 💥 #AutoIndustry #Leadership #ChallengeAccepted
