You are in the middle of a normal workday and somehow everything still ends up on your desk. The front needs a decision, a team member has a question, someone wants time off, something needs to be fixed, and every issue finds its way back to you. That is usually the moment an owner realizes the practice still depends on them for everything.
In our latest episode, I am joined by DPH coaches Dr. Henry Ernst and Dr. Steven Markowitz to talk about why owners wait too long, what a leadership team should actually do, and how to start even if your team is still small.
Here are a few things that actually make a difference:
- Start building leadership before the practice feels "big enough"
- A leadership team can start with just a few people
- Choose leaders based on character, not just skill
- Give people clear roles, real ownership, and space to lead
The goal is not to add layers or make the practice feel corporate. The goal is to stop being the person everything runs through. Listen now and learn how to build a leadership team that gives you more support, more clarity, and more freedom as an owner.
