Building The Self-Managed Team

Your Key to Management Freedom!

Sandy explains more how to get more wins for your dental practice by building a self-managed dental team.

When you own a practice, you quickly discover that critical skills gaps inevitably cause some of the biggest headaches in every practice:

  • Communication skill gaps contribute to emotionally charged situations and create difficult people—whether they are patients or team members.

  • Leadership skill gaps contribute to employee problems like chronic lateness, underperformance, constant complaining, persistent negativity, and failure to comply.

  • Business system gaps cause multiple problems with scheduling, new patient acquisition and patient retention, and financial and mediocre performance.

  • Customer service skill gaps damage patient relationships, new patient recruitment, teamwork, and patient experience.

A clear, structured, fail-safe approach to practice management skills can cure staffing headaches, create a healthy work environment, re-energize the team, and reap huge benefits. Learn proven ways to integrate critical operating systems, increase revenues, improve patient satisfaction and retention, boost online and word-of-mouth referrals, maximize morale, and minimize miscommunication risks.
