Dear Doctor,
I'm hearing echos of my grandmother! "What you need is a swift kick in the pants" was her solution when we got bogged down in our own drama and needed to shake things up and start over. Of course, she never meant it literally, it was just her way of telling us to stop complaining and start doing something about whatever we were complaining about. It was usually followed up with a lecture from my mother on how "actions speak louder than words." Sound familiar to any of you? Ready to move from talk to action?
How about theses laments, do any of these sound familiar to you?
"It seems like all we ever do is talk about improving things...but nothing ever gets done"
"We keep revisiting problems year after year; why can't we solve our problems once and for all?"
"We have the best of intentions, but who has the time and energy to stay focused?"
"We should just stop having meetings since nothing we talk about ever gets done."
These roadblock will affect morale and profitability. Make no mistake about it, they will hold you back. If you share these frustrations, we have great news for you!
You absolutely can break through this aggrevating pattern of revisiting problems year after year! If you're ready, we can show you how to make sure you have everyone on the same page so you can reach your personal and practice potential and improve bottom line performance. If you're ready, read on....
Together with Dr. Patrick Wahl and Lorraine Hollett, Ginny Hegarty recently had the distinct pleasure of hosting twenty-four practices at our Practice Prosperity Retreats in Baltimore. These doctors represented fifteen states and Sweden and
regardless of the size or location of the practice, 73% of our doctors agreed that their top management issue is related to: “Keeping everyone focused, enthusiastic, motivated and on the same page while maintaining momentum for practice growth.”
So, once again it becomes apparent that we are as alike as we are different and our challenges are not as unique as we think they are. This confirms what you had already told us, the practice of dentistry is the easy part; it's the business of dentistry and the management of the players that is most challenging. You can't manage the day-to-day business of the practice by yourself; if that were possible you would have mastered it already. You need to turn your players into a cohesive team.
Listen to what our client, Dr. Michael Monsarrat had to say:
"My practice is doing well yet I was intrigued ..... upon receiving The Practice Renewal System® I thought "What am I doing this for - I could just "phone-it-in" for the next fifteen years." After going through the workbook and listening to the CD, however, I got real excited about sharing ideas with my staff. A skeptical group gathered for a "mandatory, it'll only take about one hour meeting" and emerged after two and one-half hours an energized and enthused team! -Dr. Michael Monsarrat, Kent, CT
Has your staff earned the right to be called a team?
Team is an overused word in dentistry – it’s no longer politically correct to have employees or staff – all we hear about are office “teams.” But in reality, many dental teams are more like co-workers than team mates. Some practices do have teams, but unfortunately some have more than one team and they are often playing against each other. Have you ever wondered why some practices seem to almost purr with beautiful harmonies while others have trouble carrying a tune?
We’ve consulted with many dental practices through the years and we can tell you these 3 things for sure:
#1: The most successful practices share a common bond, strong foundation, a clear purpose that brings them together as a team. You can see it, feel it and know it almost instantly. Rather than having an office staff, these practices have a team spirit.
#2: We can also tell right away when a practice is lacking the team gene. They're not missing the skill, talent and dedication - they are missing the X-factor. These practices are just not producing the great results or having as much fun as the teams.
#3: The doctors who lead great teams have discovered that people work for money, but they excel for recognition and appreciation. These doctors also know that most people want to be part of something bigger than them; they want to make a difference. The happiest doctors discovered how to bring their people together with one voice and a shared purpose.
With the introduction of The Practice Renewal System®, Ginny Hegarty shares the 10 steps that will guide you to harness the passion and energy of your players to build a great team. Ginny also teaches you the magic of a strategic planning process that keeps everyone on track and accountable as you build your dream practice.
It All Begins With Vision
What do planes, soft drinks, music, mobile phones, cars, wines and bridal wear have in common? They are all Virgin Companies, part of Sir Richard Branson's portfolio. They are so different - yet they all operate under an umbrella philosophy. Vision is not really about what you are obviously doing. For vision to drive your success it must be bigger than the obvious. Otherwise, you could just say "We fix teeth" but don't you really do so much more than that? There is great power in knowing how to focus on what you really do.
If you staff thinks it's all about the restorations and the prophys, you need to show them the big picture. They need to understand the impact they can and should have on patients that will turn your patients into loyal, raving fans who wouldn't dream of going elsewhere for their dental care and who refer their friends and family.
Here's what Dr. Ian Shuman told us:
My team became acutely aware of what we were trying to achieve and your workbooks and exercises helped me express in words what I had always thought but could never actualize."- Dr. Ian Shuman, Baltimore, MD
Vision without action is a daydream - Action without vision is a nightmare*
Combining a heartfelt vision with a logical plan for action is the winning recipe for breakthrough success. Break the cycle of frustration for yourself and your team by tapping into the power of aligning your practice vision with a Strategic Planning Process that catapults your team beyond talking to actually introducing positive changes and accountability in your practice. Accountability is what is most often missing and it's the reason many other plans will fail. In The Practice Renewal System® Ginny Hegarty will lead you and your team through the process to create action plans that will get results.
Dr. Tim Goodheart had this to say:
“The Practice Renewal System took us step-by-step through a process that got my team focused not just on today and tomorrow but on longer term goals. This can be hard for staff, but Ginny’s process leads them into it and gave each person a voice. By giving the staff a voice in the office, I'm getting more done, and the patient is the ultimate beneficiary." - Dr. Tim Goodheart, Raytown, Missouri
