“Leadership is a lifetime endeavor. It's not something you just know. But there are a few keys to making it much easier."
What I've striven for most of my career is to develop a legacy of legendary leadership. In my opinion, legendary leadership is about training, supporting, and empowering your team to be totally supportive of you, and amazing patient advocates. And that's really what I look at what I look at my team: they are the patient's advocate to get dentistry done. I and the other doctors in the office just happen to be the ones who do the actual clinical work.
But my goal is to develop the teams' leadership and the way that they work with me to empower them to take ownership, which allows us to become extremely productive.
Leadership is a lifetime endeavor, this is not something you just know. I've heard that leaders are born. I don't really believe that. I think leaders can be formed, you just have to understand where you're at. And as your vision grows, and your communication skills improve, you gain the ability to guide your team into that true patient advocacy.
Leadership is really about relationships. I've talked about this a lot; I didn't used to know my team, I didn't know that family names. I didn't know any of that. But, but caring about people and understanding who you're working with is a huge part of getting the team all on the same page.
