Do your leadership meetings ever feel like just a status update, with no real progress towards your overall practice goals?

In this final episode of the six-week Accountability Equation™ podcast series, I share a framework to ensure these meetings encourage accountability and drive progress towards goals. So, if you're looking to refine your meeting strategy, this episode is a must listen! Join me to learn more about:

  • The crucial role of taking action in achieving success and meeting goals.
  • The importance of using metrics and goals as a basis for action in a group practice, as this helps to ensure that actions are aligned with the overall objectives of the practice.
  • My framework for team leadership meetings that promote accountability and facilitate progress towards goals.
  • Practical tips and strategies for effective implementation of the leadership meeting framework.

As we wrap up our series on The Accountability Equation™, I hope you've gained valuable insights into the importance of accountability in a group practice. Remember, action is the final piece of the puzzle. It's what turns our vision into reality and our goals into achievements.

What qualities do you think make a great leader? Does your leadership team exhibit those qualities, or could it be time for an assessment? 

For the third episode of the six-week Accountability Equation™ podcast series, I dive deeper into the second A of the five A's of Accountability: “Assess”. In this episode, I discuss the importance of assessing the leadership team in your group practice. I share the qualities of a great leader and explain the process of assessing your existing leadership team. I also highlight the benefits of self-assessment for leaders, and discuss the challenges and pitfalls of the interview process when looking for your leadership team. Some of the things I cover in this episode are:

  • Why self-assessment is beneficial for leaders to reflect on their strengths and areas for improvement.

  • The challenges and pitfalls of leadership interviews, such as bias and limited information.

  • How to address the problem of limited diversity and inclusion in the interview process.

  • How to adequately prepare for leadership interviews, including thorough research on candidates and utilizing structured interview processes.

  • How to screen your leadership team for vision alignment, effective communication, decision-making skills, culture building, accountability, strategic thinking, resilience, and adaptability.

The "Assess" phase of The Accountability Equation™ is a critical step in ensuring the right people are in the right roles within your group practice. With the right tools and mindset, this process can be a powerful catalyst for organizational growth and success.

Is your staff clear on what their role and function is in your practice? If not… that could be hindering your growth and success.

In this second episode of the six-week Accountability Equation™ podcast series, I focus on the first A of the five A's, which is "assemble". I explain how assembling the right team and clearly defining roles and responsibilities is crucial for setting up accountability in your practice. I even provide an overview of a helpful matrix that outlines the core responsibilities for each role in your business. Join me as I discuss:

  • The difference between roles and functions: Roles are specific positions in the organization with their own set of responsibilities and expectations, while functions are the tasks and responsibilities within those roles.

  • Why job titles and organizational charts are not helpful in providing clarity and understanding of responsibilities.

  • The core roles and functions of a group practice including: visionary, integrator, sales and marketing, operations (administrative, HR, clinical), finance, and DEI.

  • Steps to avoid building roles and functions that keep you stagnant by envisioning where your business should be, rather than where it currently stands.

  • How spending time in the assemble phase helps clarify roles, reduce confusion, and promote collaboration and teamwork. 

Don’t start setting up your accountability system in your practice without first understanding this stage. This step is crucial as it provides clarity to everyone in the practice about their areas of authority.
