Dental Practice Consulting: Why Offices Underperform
The primary reason practices underperform is staff non-compliance, which is a sign of poor leadership. Effective leadership is, in part, achieved by:
1. Having agreement among all your team members.
2. Having those agreements contained in your office policies.
3. Referring staff to the policies when they have questions.
4. Seeing that the policies are fairly enforced.
5. Dismissing those who cannot or will not follow simple, useful policies.
