Have you ever noticed how some dental teams thrive even on the most challenging days? They laugh together, support each other, and somehow make even the toughest situations enjoyable. It's not magic—it's intentional leadership and genuine connection.


The relationships within your dental team matter more than anything else—even more than compensation or perks. When team members genuinely enjoy each other's company, they create a resilient culture that pulls together during stressful times. As practice owner, you set the emotional tone that ripples through your entire organization. This doesn't mean faking positivity, but rather bringing authentic leadership that includes appropriate vulnerability.

True leadership in dental practice means empowering your team through the right conversations rather than trying to be the answer person for everything. Mastering three key conversation types – vision, accountability, and problem-solving – can solve 95% of practice problems and prevent owner burnout.

• Vision conversations connect daily tasks to meaningful patient outcomes and team benefits
• Creating purpose helps team members understand their work impacts patients' overall health and quality of life
• Accountability conversations establish clear expectations and maintain practice standards
• "You will get what you tolerate" – addressing small issues prevents them from becoming destructive habits
• Focus on specific behaviors rather than making assumptions about the person
• Problem-solving conversations involve the team in finding solutions together
• Collaborative approach increases buy-in and implementation success
• Create psychological safety for team members to share ideas without fear
• Recommended resources: "Start With Why" (Sinek), "Crucial Accountability," and "No Bullshit Leadership"
• Don't wait for perfection – having these conversations consistently is more important than doing them perfectly

If you want a practice where your team handles day-to-day management while you take time off, we have the experience to show you how to do it.

The myth of discipline has perpetuated an enormous lie about what drives success in dental practices. Drawing from personal experience, I reveal why traditional definitions of discipline aren't necessary for extraordinary practice growth. Through vulnerable admissions about my own "undisciplined" habits (25 years of smoking, late-morning wake-ups, nightly cereal binges), I unpack what actually drove my success building a large group practice.
