The Secret to Getting What You Want
When I was a teenager, my dad gave me the gift of sending me to a Zig Ziglar seminar. It was one of the most inspiring experiences of my entire life.
As a teenager my biggest take away from this seminar was, “The fastest way to get what you want in life is to help enough other people get what they want”. That was so powerful and profound to me that I live my life that way and it is what inspired me to do what I do for my career.
As a doctor and the leader of your practice this applies to both you and your team. A couple of great ways you can apply this in your team is to:
Make sure your team members are in roles that highlight their strengths.
Invest in their career growth, whether through mentoring them or finding CE’s that will help develop them so they can be successful in this profession.
Sometimes when I suggest this to doctors, I get asked, “What if I invest all this time, money, and energy into my team members and they leave?”.
My response to that is, “What if you don’t, and they stay?”.
If you help your team members reach their full potential, they will help you reach yours.
Invest in your team and watch your practice grow.
