For most of us, as dental practice owners, being an employer is the hardest part of our jobs! My guest this episode is Adrienne Twigg, the co-owner of Bent Ericksen, a dental human resources company that helps clients in all 50 states with their leadership needs. As Adrienne says, we want to be good at everything we do, and being the leader that your team needs comes with many challenges and requires energy and commitment from you… But once your employees and staff members are confident in how you manage the practice, your team can become your competitive advantage!

This episode will help you create a happy atmosphere in your practice that reduces stress and allows your team members to thrive. We discuss some great ways to communicate with and show your employees they are recognized and appreciated as well as some ways to handle situations that require correction. Adrienne points out, “What we accept, we teach.” So, it is important to correct or address issues within about 24 hours so issues are not seen as unimportant, creating the opportunity for the action to be repeated. She stresses the importance of taking the time to handle staffing corrections so the team is strong and patients are happy with the office and feel safe to be there. Listen to this episode for some valuable tips to create synergy within your office and have a positive reputation in the community as a good leader!
