We help dentists grow their practices and achieve their dreams.
Leadership: the action of leading a group of people
Management: the process of dealing with or controlling things or people
This can be confusing, especially in a business. To often we have managers and it’s not inspirational, when this happens the team can become unmotivated and confused themselves. A business has got to have a fine balance of both, maybe as a doctor you’re a great leader but a terrible manager or vice versa.
Whether it is your dental patients, your dental team, or yourself change is often met with resistance. I recently read a book called The Five Second Rule that discusses this. The concept of the book is that anytime we are resistant to making a change there is some fear or something that is holding us back; this is the same mindset that holds our patients back from accepting treatment. Research has shown that when we face a challenge and feel resistant that counting down from 5 to 1 is an absolute game changer in how we move forward.
IT WON'T HAPPEN TO ME.....I'M JUST A SMALL DENTAL PRACTICE
I would bet that all the dental offices, that had their patient information breached, said the same thing.
I hope all of you have had the opportunity to watch the TV show of March 13 where Darren interviewed Charles Kaplan of Data Guardian Pro. Scary stuff! The more I researched, the scarier it became. Do you even know if your data is encrypted? Do you know what the HIPAA rules are?
March Madness, do you miss it yet? What can we learn from last months MADNESS?!
It's clear that College Basketball is extremely exciting, it's full of passion, hard work, drive and the overall desire to lead and finish. There's nothing like watching it, mens or women's college NCAA tournament was a lot of basketball to keep up with.
Take a second and think about all the preperation that these teams and coaches do? Are you developing a system in your dental practice, that results in such high performance?
In life and in your dental practice, do you want people to tell you what is right or do you desire to hear what makes you feel good?
