Owner Doctor Learning Path
Every dental practice’s potential is tied directly to the owner’s ability as a leader and executive. Seeking to hire someone else to “handle the business/management side of things,” while you wash your hands of it completely, never works.
Or at least, it only works if the owner:
A) Understands the proper business model and the ins-and-outs of every aspect of the practice
B) Has implemented good organizational structure and systems
C) Delegates effectively
D) Knows how to evaluate practice performance and troubleshoot when things aren’t going well
E) Retains essential owner duties such as planning, goal setting, financial oversight and open communication with the team.
Only then can the owner step back and let the practice run without their continual involvement. So with DDS Success, we train the team AND the doctor so that everybody is on the same page and these systems get implemented successfully.
