Dentaltown December 2017 - 73
Today, we're paying it forward and
mentor dentists who are right out of school.
With our DSO, there's an entire learning
and development model focused on mentorship. We've learned that the key to being
a successful mentor is to hire dentists who
are coachable, confident and caring.
The clinical skills will evolve over
time but it's critical that you verbally and
emotionally recognize the efforts of a young
dentist and consistently tell them when
they're doing a good job. They need your
help as a mentor to build their confidence.
It's also important to encourage your team
to treat them equally and for the entire team
to encourage one another in order for the
practice to run smoothly and be successful.
Keepers of the culture
As practice owners, we're the keepers
of the culture in our offices, so it's in our
hands to make sure our team and patients
have the best experiences possible. We often have team lunches, celebrate birthdays
and holidays together, and find time every
day to have fun and laugh. The happier
our teams are, the more satisfied our patients will be. The way in which a team
member interacts with a patient is very
telling if you have the right people in place
and if you're promoting a positive work
environment. It's essential that you keep
your teams engaged. The more confidence
that is instilled in your teams, the more
competent they will become.
When we became clinicians, we were
eager to jump right into practicing dentistry. But it takes time and patience to
develop your clinical and leadership skills.
Our patient mentors took the time to
answer our questions without judgment.
They taught us to put ourselves in the patient's position and to treat them all as if
they were our parents; they guided us as
clinicians and team leaders to learn from
our mistakes and to become better doctors
as well as to grow into effective managers.
As much as you need to care for your
staff, you can't forget to care for yourself.
The happier you are, the more engaged
and productive your teams will be, creating a successful and profitable business. ■
