Dos and dont's for team leadership: Discover the power of delegating
Many dentists tend to "do it all" or micromanage staff members. Either way, potentially productive time is wasted, doctors work harder than necessary for what the practice earns, team morale suffers, and growth is curtailed. As the CEO and team leader, only you have the power to change this pattern -- and doing so can have a tremendous impact on your enjoyment of dentistry and the success of your practice.

Dos and don'ts for practice management: Changing practice systems for a changing practice
As soon as a dental practice implements new management systems the countdown to system replacement begins. In fact, the more effective the systems are, the sooner they will need to be replaced. As a practice grows and conditions change, tweaking and adjustments can only go so far. Practice owners must learn to recognize when systems that once drove growth have begun to slow it down … and replace them.

Dos and don'ts for building relationships
Where do your patients learn about home care, exciting new treatment options, and other dental subjects? If they're not relying on your practice for all this information and more, consider creating a monthly or quarterly electronic newsletter. This is an excellent way to provide valuable information to patients, promote your complete range of services, and build a stronger practice/patient relationship.
