“Tapping into the talent of people is one of the gifts of great leadership.”
– Dr. Victoria Peterson
“Help me help you.”
I think that is the unspoken mantra of employees in America today. And as a dental practice owner who is crafting your Investment Grade Practice™, you know you can’t bring your vision to fruition alone. You need an awesome team to support you.
Almost 100% of the time, your employees want to do a great job in their jobs. And it’s your job as their leader to create a safe environment where your team can say these are the things I need to do my job well.
Your team will not naturally come to you and tell you what they need. Its very difficult for employees to speak up about what they need, even if what they’re asking for will make it easier for them to do their jobs.
I want to encourage you: Don’t take the silence as a good thing. Your job as a leader is to set the vision and then clarify, clarify, clarify. And when you think its clear, go back and clarify again.
For those of you wanting to create an IGP business, I want to take today to explore what is possible when you engage your team by sharing:
- What your team really wants
- Practical tips for employee engagement that are more effective than a raise
- A leadership challenge that will help you unlock and leverage the full potential of your team
