Are you training leaders… or just promoting the least bad option?
Let me hit you with something uncomfortable, but real. When someone leaves your practice, do you have the next leader ready? Or do you just look around, panic a little, and say, “Well... Joanne’s not awful. Let’s give her a shot.”
In this episode, I’m bringing the heat on a big mistake I see way too often - reactive promotions. We talk a lot about growing our practices, but are we really growing our people?
I break down how to know if someone’s actually ready to step into leadership using the EOS method. This framework has changed how I hire, how I lead, and how my team performs.
I also talk about building a “minor league system” inside your practice, how to support your team through personal challenges, and why skipping leadership development is costing you more than you think.
Hit play and let’s talk real leadership.
