Most people believe that leadership comes with a title or a position. Quite the contrary. Effective organizations have leaders throughout the organizational structure who imagine what "could be" instead of acting as managers who maintain the status quo.

In this course, we will outline the individual and institutional leadership skills required by all team members to create a dynamic and thriving business. Whether you own the Private Practice or help at the front desk, this presentation will provide you with relevant and actionable resources that you can implement immediately to foster shared vision and growth in your organization.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

-identify the signs of lacking leadership and outline strategies to address this immediately.

-describe the difference between a leader and a manager in relation to the impact on a practice's long-term vision and growth.

-identify areas of opportunity to delegate responsibilities and therefore develop leadership in their employees and coworkers.
