THERE’S A KEY DIFFERENCE between managing a team and leading one. Unlike managers, leaders don’t simply ensure tasks are accomplished and everything is moving smoothly-leaders inspire.
As John Quincy Adams once said, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more and become more, you are a leader.”
Develop The Right Leadership Skills For Your Practice
Good leadership skills translate across all business endeavors, but we want to share with you the skills we think are most pertinent to owning a successful dental practice and the best ways to apply them.
Invest in your team; train and set your team members up for success from the time they are hired. Have a formal on boarding process and training agenda. Share your vision with your team. Set clear realistic goals. Provide positive communication that not only informs, but inspires. Listen to your employees by being available when they need to talk to you. Encourage, challenge and empower your employees. It is important to review employee performance annually, in addition to providing regular performance feedback. An annual review should never come as a surprise to an employee. Set the example in the practice of someone who is passionate about helping patients AND cares about his/her team members. When your employees know you are vested in their future, they are more likely to be vested in yours.
