Key Takeaways:
- Key areas of dental burnout and stress:
- Staff issues
- Cash flow issues
- Stress in general
- Burnout starts to set in at approximately 7-10 years
- Divorce rate is systemic in dentistry, and averages about 46%
- Divorce is going down in general population, dentists have a higher rate of divorce when you look at divorce rate by profession
- Studies show when our core relationships are strong we’re better entrepreneurs, better at our craft, more creative and resilient. When they’re in distress those key skills diminish.
- First step to turn around burnout is to realize you’re not alone, and to put together a self-care plan to help ease stress and reduce bad energy.
- Four W strategy helps you normalize and immediately differentiate yourself from the chaos:
- Why do I care?
- Who says?
- Whose issue?
- What can I do about it?
- When you feel tension rising, run through the four W’s to chip away at accumulated beliefs.
- Work on building a true, autonomous, self-directed team, as compared to a well-managed staff. A truly self-directed team will have the ability to run without a manager. It frees you up to do an amazing amount of core work without the stress of managing.
- Empower your people to excel in their scope.
- The last thing you want to do is be a manager. Parts and pieces can be managed, but humans are not manageable. Build a true leadership based plan, give authority and expertise over to your team.
- Purpose is the primary personal motivator for millennials.
- Constructive coaching is great for high-stress patients or underperforming employees, it’s a very effective way to develop leadership:
- Praise (The way that you… I love it when you…)
- Ask (Can I show you…)
- Teach
- Enable and empower
- Validate
