A Bias Toward Action and Authenticity: Dr. Brad Hughes, Founder and CEO of Vision Dental Partners

Action; Will to Win; Bring the Fire; Close the Gap. You might expect to hear these motivating words coming from a coach during a big game, but you will also hear them in the morning staff meetings at Vision Dental Partners, an emerging practice group with eight locations in Indiana and South Carolina. As you’ll discover on today’s episode of Filling You In with A-Squared, the company’s founder and CEO, Dr. Brad Hughes, has centered his growing business on those concepts. “We focused on those because they tell a story of the people that we want to work with, the people we feel like we are, the way we want the story about our culture and our company to be told,” he tells hosts Dr. Abhishek Nagaraj and Dr. Anushka Gaglani. Of the four, having a bias toward action rises to the top. “I probably say the word action 40,000 times a day. It's like, I can't do it for you. You've just got to do the damn thing. Nobody cares if you screw some things up. I think that’s so important.”

Tune in to learn how these core concepts play out in day-to-day operations at Vision Dental Partners and gain from Dr. Hughes’ insights on other key aspects of business success, including: 

• Why he is obsessed with employee loyalty and how to achieve it;
• The importance of having an efficient schedule;
• Why he asks team members evaluate his own work.
