The Upward Spiral of Success

What is the trajectory of your Practice?

Are you on an UPWARD SPIRAL, always adapting, always improving, always growing?

Or are you on a DOWNWARD SPIRAL, gradually losing ground with persistent problems, lower production, or higher overhead?

Or are you simply maintaining the STATUS QUO, constantly rocked by the winds of competition or the whims of your staff, hoping for a particularly good day, or a fairly good week, or a reasonably good month?

To achieve an UPWARD SPIRAL, we need to continuously improve our PERSONAL LEADERSHIP, TEAM SYNERGY, and PRACTICE OPERATIONS.  They’re the three drivers that can propel our practice to greater heights of success and personal satisfaction.

But this upward trajectory must begin with us.  Only when we decide to improve our LEADERSHIP skills can we foster better working relationships within our TEAM.  As the synergy of our TEAM improves, they in turn can help us achieve lasting improvements to our PRACTICE OPERATIONS.

Then the cycle begins again. Smoother OPERATIONS challenge us to become a more exceptional leader to guide a more productive TEAM to further refine our PRACTICE OPERATIONS.

When we choose to ride this UPWARD SPIRAL, our reputation soars with our patients and in our community.   We enjoy greater success and less daily stress because we’ve advanced our Practice to the point where the synergy of LEADER and TEAM consistently produce error-free OPERATIONS and outstanding results.

But where do we start?  What are the fundamental LEADERSHIP skills that will take us on this upward trajectory?  We start by embracing the right perspective, by adopting The Leadership Mindset.

What is The Leadership Mindset?   It’s coming to understand that essentially leadership is about two things. It’s an unwavering commitment to relationships and a relentless focus on results. We need both if we hope to lead a change in our practice.  It’s the starting point to greater success and personal satisfaction. Without it, our attempts to launch our practice on an upward trajectory is doomed to failure.
