Continuing Education: Vision Quest by Dr. Chris Griffin

Course description
Increased competition is forcing dentists to operate outside of their comfort zones. While most are not equipped to become CEOs in the truest sense of the word, utilizing a solid leadership system that empowers the dental team to take ownership of practice growth allows owner-doctors to provide more of a low-key leadership role and still convey their vision for the practice.

Abstract
Don't believe the lie that you must work more or become a tyrant to achieve success. You already have everything you need; the challenge is getting rid of the things you don't. Unlock the potential of a stress-free, laid-back style of leadership that empowers your team and restores balance through a fresh perspective and strategic approach. Take control and enjoy practice again. 

1. Your team needs three things to allow your ideal practice to materialize:
2. They need to know the vision of the doctor. This becomes a signpost that continually keeps the practice growing in the right direction.
3. They need a vehicle. You must create a system that allows the proper environment and culture to thrive inside your practice.

Finally, they need validation. This is the continual reminder that they have achieved your objectives and a reward for a job well done.

These "three V's" are the backbone of every great dental practice today.
