The Art of Staffing and Team Management: Lead with Confidence and Unity Creating an Engaged Work Team

Attention Doctors, Office Managers, and Team Leads!

Every doctor wants a well-run, profitable practice, right? Most doctors would rather just be a doctor, see patients and not have the endless headaches of running a business.

It doesn’t have to be this way; you can elevate your medical practice to new heights by sending your managers or team leads to this transformative three-week course.

Over the course of the next several months, Top Practices Practice Management will be offering smaller, bite-sized management courses that are content focused to achieve the practice management areas that can be very challenging. When you look at the big picture of running a medical practice it seems impossible, and it is without those key people who help you get there, your manager or team leads. There is so much to do, and we need to get it all done, but let’s face it overwhelming.

Jeff Olson, the author of The Slight Edge says, “Sometimes you need to slow down to go fast.” That is why we have chosen to offer these highly approachable, bite-sized courses so you really can get it done quickly and our Coach Tina Del Buono, will be there to guide your manager/team leads through every step.

The price of this course will allow up to two people to attend: your manager and a team lead or two team leads. (Oh, see the special bonus below for you, doctor!)

Here's why this opportunity is a game-changer for both you and your practice:

Unlock Your Practice's Full Potential: Your manager or team leads are the backbone of your practice, and investing in their professional development is an investment in the success of your entire team. By equipping them with the skills and knowledge to create a great workplace hiring the right people, communicating effectively to get tasks done and having systems and protocols in place and holding everyone in the practice accountable for following the practice guidelines and policies you'll witness a significant positive impact on your practice's overall performance and profitability. They will become your “Practice Partners” and elevate others in the practice to be the same.

Free Up Your Time To See More Patients: When your managers or team leads are well-prepared in streamlining office operations, hiring the right people, setting up training programs for initial and continued training which will allow the practice to run effectively, they free up valuable time for you to concentrate on what matters most: providing exceptional patient care. With the tools your management staff need, you can ensure a seamless patient experience from start to finish.

What are the benefits for you and your manager or team leads to attend this course?

#1: Finding just the right employee seems impossible at times. In this course, Tina will cover how to know who to hire for what is needed in the practice and how to hire them. If you are going to hire you need to develop and implement an effective initial training program which is critical to ensure that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their jobs effectively. Not having this and incorrectly onboarding employees gives them a good reason to leave. Another reason people do not onboard and are unhappy with their job is poor communication.

#2: Most people think they can communicate, and they are incorrect, they can talk. Communication is one of the most difficult human tasks that we need to learn and continue learning how to do. That is why it is vitally important for management personnel to learn and truly put forth an effort to communicate for understanding.  People who take on the challenge to learn to communicate better will make their relationships at work better than we can imagine. We know that people want to work for those they know truly care and understand them that is why we have chosen to add this important topic in this course.

#3: Along with choosing the right employees and communicating successfully with them this course will cover the “employee handbook” and how to create one that covers everything from A-to-Z and has protocols for employees to follow so they can be a contributing factor in a well-run practice because everyone knows what is expected and have the directions and support to do it. Attitude is key in being the Practice Partner that inspires staff to come alongside one another and their doctor(s) to create the best-run medical practice in their community. This course will cover this important topic with instruction on how to carry it out step-by-step.

As you know, creating, running, and growing a profitable practice does not happen overnight. It takes time and encouragement to continue with those bite-sized baby steps that eventually will get you there. That is why we have created these courses with that in mind, so it gets done and then can be maintained.
