How to Build a Team That Loves Working With You (Not For You) with Clint Pulver! — Dealer Talk With Jen Suzuki

What makes people stay… and what makes them walk out the door?

In this episode, Jen sits down with Clint Pulver — Emmy Award–winning speaker, author, and creator of the "Undercover Millennial" movement — for a raw, energy-packed conversation about leadership that actually inspires people to perform at their highest level.

Clint has interviewed over 10,000 employees across the country, gathering real, unfiltered feedback about what teams love, what they fear, and why they stay committed. And the patterns he reveals apply directly to every dealership, every department, every leader.

Together, Jen and Clint unpack:

The fastest way leaders unintentionally push good people out
How the best managers create "mentorship moments" that change everything
Why today's workforce craves connection, not supervision
How small leadership habits lead to massive culture shifts
The secret to motivating teams without pressure or burnout
Why recognition is the #1 performance accelerant
What dealerships can do this week to boost energy, trust, and accountability

This is a high-impact, unforgettable episode for anyone responsible for growing people — GMs, dealer principals, sales leaders, service directors, BDC managers, and anyone who wants a stronger, more motivated team.
