Habits of Highly Effective Dentists - How do you measure up?

Taking the 7 habits of highly effective people, I want to relate that to your dental practice.

Your office and design is one side of the coin. I can, of course, help with streamlining and productivity. I pride myself on dental office designs and construction that promote efficiency and comfort.

But your actions and the actions of those in your office will determine the rest.

Be proactive – work with your staff and clients actively, don’t just react to concerns, needs, and complaints.
Begin with the end in mind – make goals and push to achieve them. What do you want your dental practice to be?
Prioritize – don’t overburden yourself or your assistants.
Be optimistic – thinking abundantly and staying positive will improve the attitudes and productivity of everyone in your office.
Communicate clearly – exercise some humility, listen to your clients, and make sure everyone is heard and you’ll have a smooth running operation in no time.
Synergize – work together in order to get more done than just you can do alone.
Stay sharp – don’t let yourself or your skills become dull, otherwise your success will diminish and you’ll be looking at some true doldrums in your practice.
