The highly competitive arena of the 21st Century has changed the role of the doctor. No longer do you have the luxury of focusing all of your attention on the practice of medicine or dentistry. Now you also have to operate a competitive business and lead a team.
The skills for leading others are critical to the success of your practice. Even if you have built your practice to be in a position to have a full-time practice administrator, your leadership will be sought out by everyone in your employ. Your Administrator will handle the details of the process, but it is still up to you to be a strong leader that others will follow.
The larger your practice, the more you have to incorporate a team of people to assist you. Who will you choose to serve on your leadership team? What will you teach them about how to motivate staff and get more out of every patient experience?
If you are a part of a larger practice or hospital, a well-trained leadership team is more than a tactical issue, it is the bedrock of your organization. We find that most group practices under-utilize the talent of their team and put too much pressure for leadership in the hands of the doctors. This is counter-productive to the success of a practice, and serves only to cause stress for the doctors, headaches for the staff, and inadequate care for the patients. While choosing to avoid hiring additional employees in order to save money may be a good way to reduce your overhead, there are smarter ways to be frugal.
LEADERSHIP is the art of motivating others to act out your vision. In simple terms - it's about getting people to do what you want them to do. Are you ready?

"Meaningful, positive, practical weekend with 2 sensitive people." Hal Willens, MD, Michigan Heart and Vascular, PC
"It gave me permission within myself to be a more effective leader in the office, to be able to set guidelines for employees and expect them to keep and follow them...it gave me an insight into who I am, who I want to be and more importantly, where I am going." C. Lederman, Practice Manager, Ocala Family Practice
"Very informative, enlightening all around a very positive experience. Your training style is truly the best I have experienced because of your ease of presentations." Mary Langen, Office Manager, Manasse Orthodontics
"It was truly and honestly life changing - in work and in personal life. Hal and Wendy taught us that we all do matter even though we are totally different people and we all have different lives and we all look at things and situations totally differently that we can all work together and help the patients in such positive ways. Some of the things we learned were so great because they are things we would have never known how or what to do until we met Hal and Wendy... Another thing about the workshop that is probably the thing I loved the most is how it changed others. I saw a change in some people that was and is just amazing. I think this workshop helped many of the leaders in such positive ways and, I thank you for that." Andrea Decker, Treatment Coordinator, White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontics
