Most dentists struggle to find and retain solid employees — someone hungry, humble, and smart. This often leads to the temptation to settle for underperformers and allow culture-cancers to impact the team negatively. But the possibility is that you can have a deliberate process that helps team members understand that part of their job is always getting better at their job, constantly growing, and continuously improving.
This week’s theme is enhancing culture. In this episode, I discuss keeping underperforming employees from undermining your culture. So if you want to:
- have a deliberate process that helps team members understand that part of their job is always to be getting better at their job;
- know when to clarify, connect, coach, correct, and collide; and
- understand what makes an employee a subtractor and what makes one a divider so that you can enhance your culture …
you need to tune in now!
