The Hard Conversations Around Accountability: (Spoiler) They Do NOT Have to be as Hard as You Think!

Dental Peers

One of the hardest aspects of being the CEO of your practice is holding your team accountable when their performance is not measuring up. Let’s face it, most dentists try to be people pleasers.

Dental Peers

Over the last 4 months, we have looked at how to delegate tasks in a way that ensures there is ongoing accountability. This is critical to your role as CEO as without that accountability you can never feel confident that you are receiving the information you require to effectively guide your practice.

That Which You Delegate CAN be Delegated Again!

Dental Peers

Good news! We are coming close to the end of our series of blogs on creating accountability through delegation. Today, we will discuss the second last category I have for you. And after that, I will close it out with a few final comments. Last month, we took our CEO minds to those tasks where you would work closely with your manager to complete. Accountability is built in because you will have regular consultation on how to best proceed with those tasks.
