Can a famous rock star perform the best show to his fans without the support of his road crew and managers?  Imagine if a rock star had to lug and set up his own equipment, do all the sound checks and then expected to perform at a high level and give his fans 100% of his creativity, music and performance.  Seems unrealistic, doesn’t it?

Well, that’s what most chiropractors do!  As a chiropractic coach I see it day in and day out.  They do all the details of running the office, cleaning it, micromanaging their team and then wonder why their practice isn’t at the level they’d like it to be! Like it or not, as a chiropractor you have to have a strong team to support you, ones you can rely on to do everything that isn’t what only you can do: serve people through the chiropractic adjustment.  We need roadies (our team) to have all the details handled, AND we need to trust that they will!

Many chiropractors I speak with don’t have any structured team training or team management, past the initial hiring.  We need to be creating an environment, AND leading by example, of always refining and striving to be better at every interaction with a patient.  Ongoing training and continuous learning is the key to having a Dream Team you can rely on.  Next is outlining performance expectations and creating weekly action plans to take performance to the next level and reviewed at a weekly staff meeting.

Lastly, ask yourself, “Do I really want a Dream Team”?  If so, we need to understand our team’s behavioral style and values and motivate them in an appropriate way!  Bonuses and rewards are key to having a team be on board to growing a practice.  Why?  Well, let me ask you…”Would you want to work twice as hard for the same pay”?

It’s time to get the right people in place, to get them well trained, to get them motivated to serve more people in your community.  We want your team to help you grow your practice so that you can really have a Dream Team and serve the masses. You are the rock star, they are the roadies.  I would argue that the roadies are more important than the rock star in the grand scheme of things, and it’s important that they know this!

At Rosen Coaching we are dedicated to chiropractors leading true health care and the wellness revolution.  If you want to THRIVE in a TRUE Wellness Practice, we’d love to see if we can help!

Are you a pessimist, an optimist or a leader?  We need to look at how you deal with challenge and adversity to find out. Most people say they are optimists when asked, but if we look at the proof of their external results we might find out otherwise.  John Maxwell, one of my favourite authors on leadership, says this:

“The pessimist complains about the wind.  The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails.”

Sailing without a charted course is like driving without a map or GPS, and like setting goals without an action plan.  It leads to circular action, unintentional sabotage, and rarely reaching your desired destination.

Not only do leaders have a vision and mission, they set long-term and short-term goals with a definitive action plan.  AND they consistently take intentional action, stay on the charted course, adjust the sails and the course as needed.

To manage your chiropractic practice like a leader we need to ensure you are the captain, keeping the big picture about what practice growth you want and what you are trying to achieve.  You need to look at the conditions, the charted course, and take consistent action AND you need to lead your team!  A world cup skipper cannot sail the ship themselves.  They need a solid team with the same vision, desires and willing to work hard and be rewarded for it. As chiropractic coaches and consultants, we help office create and manage a Dream Team and help Get The Team To Grow The Practice!

If you have been being a pessimist or an optimist during the stormy conditions of the past 6 months, it’s time to step up your leadership of yourselves, your practice management and your team!  People in your community need your help. It’s time to lead the chiropractic wellness revolution!
