What if you asked the head of a famous business school for some veterinary business advice, but instead of telling you about a new system to increase productivity or some new marketing hack, he tells you to ‘focus less on the business side of veterinary practice’?
"You have to stop imposing a managerial mindset on these types of businesses - a 'business mindset.' Managerialism has seeped into everything - into industries where it shouldn't be. "
An interview that started with the goal of helping vets get better at having difficult finance conversations quickly detoured into a discussion about:
- The philosophy of veterinary business,
- Why the managerialism that works in some industries doesn’t always translate well into ours, and
- What true success could look like.
(Don’t worry - we do also get insights on how to make those money conversations less stressful!)
