Find out what your employees’ superpowers are and tap into them to improve patient acquisition.
Everyone has a superpower! Perhaps you’re crafty, witty, calming or street smart. The list goes on and on. Why would I ask this question when you’re working in a dental practice? You aren’t fighting crime or jumping off tall buildings. But, have you ever looked at where your employees’ talents lie? Shouldn’t we be doing this as managers when we hire new employees? Some of you make think it seems silly and irrelevant, but it isn’t.
Why ask? Knowing that an employee has a critical skill set will help you to hire and develop the best talent to make your practice the most successful. Don’t you want to have creative thinkers who can energize your practice by introducing new ideas for continuous quality improvement? If you continue to practice dentistry the same way you have been for the past 30 years, guess what? The competition is going to pass you by.
