Insights and Cat Fights:

A Dental Practice Management Consultant's Blog

Is there a weak link in your dental practice?


Your dental practice is as strong as its weakest link.

The problem is that the weakest link is probably you.

The good news? Your job as a dentist is safe. The bad news? Your dental practice may not be.

Some dentists have a poor employee (or two) but think, "It's better than no employee at all" or perhaps the thought is, “Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.”

Nothing could be further from the truth!

Maybe in a large corporation a few bad apples hardly matter. But in a small business like a dental practice they do. If even one employee has poor communication skills, a bad attitude or enjoys shouting matches with other staff, your practice can be seriously harmed. That one employee causing hassles could be 20% of your staff!

So who occupies your attention when you're driving home, playing with your kids or eating dinner? If you thought of one of your current employees, then the weakest link is you, not the employee. Why? Because YOU haven't corrected or gotten rid of the troublemaker.


If the weakest link is you, don't panic. We are a practice management and marketing consulting company and have a way out for you: simply click here.
