What’s keeping you enslaved to a circumstance you don’t want to be in? What stands in the way for you? What would happen if you were 5 to 10% more assertive in your practice tomorrow? Why is assertiveness so crucial as a leader?
According to Susan Folkman, leaders with good judgment but who lack assertiveness are seen as ineffective, and leaders who lack good judgment but are high in assertiveness are rated as better leaders. Therefore, the best leaders are assertive and have good judgment.
The best dental team members long for Assertive Leadership. Yet, few ever receive it. So,
- If you want to avoid the typical practice owner frustration that comes from passive, aggressive and passive-aggressive behaviors,
- If you want to give your team exactly what they need from you,

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” — Theodore Roosevelt

Key Quotes:
- “Understand that your practice has its personality, needs, and identity. And if you don’t nurture, that starts to get upset, begins to act up a little bit. So let’s keep the momentum, focus, and enjoy yourself. It’s not an either-or game. It’s a both-end game.”
- “Create a framework that allows us to win and win and win and win because confidence is really keeping promises to ourselves.”
- “Let’s make progress. Let’s get better. But don’t be a home run hitter. Just focus on the basics, the fundamentals.”
- “If we use today as the arena we’re about to enter; we can decide what a win looks like today.”
- “You can’t influence yesterday, and you can barely influence tomorrow. And if you did have an influence on tomorrow, it would happen from the place of today.”
- “It helps to tap into people in the arena who know that they’re going to fall down, but they also appreciate that they’re going to get back up a better person because they’re going to learn.”
- “If we just talk about our wishes and our wants, it’s usually overly optimistic. We must appreciate that there will be obstacles on the way. And if we could forecast and diagnose those obstacles in advance, we have a much higher likelihood of succeeding.”
