Developing Champion Team Members

share

No man is an island, and it’s the same with running a dental practice. In order for your business to function at its most efficient and be profitable, you need the help of a few key team members. These are your champions, and it would do well for you to invest in developing champion team members, so the practice can run without you having to micromanage everything. 

How do you train champion team members? What are some of the services you need a champion for?

Today, I share how I developed my champion team members and the roles they fill. I describe how I’ve grown my practice, my patients, and services. I introduce my key team members to share their Champion stories, discuss what it’s like to work for me, and describe how they have adjusted to the kind of system I’ve established. I also explain how you can have your team members committed to the goals you want for the practice and why sometimes you have to slow down to speed up.
