EPISODE QUOTES

“One of the criteria to transition from that ‘Build into Scale Season’ is bringing in an Associate Doctor.” (02:40)

“Being an Associate Doctor – the good, the bad, the ugly of it – for me and my own personal experience shaped how I did start with Associates. However, I will say, the first few associates that I had, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t have a framework. I didn’t have a methodology. I didn’t have a structure. I had a growing practice and I needed help.” (06:26)

“So why am I starting here? I’m starting here because I want you guys to recognize that the ‘Why’ is so important for both the owner and the talent. The ‘Why.’ Why do you want to bring on an Associate Doctor if you’re an owner?” (13:38)

“One of your first objectives is vision casting. This applies to hiring. This applies to training. This applies to building a remarkable team. Vision. You have to have vision. And vision means there’s clarity and there’s conviction.” (18:41)

“It’s so important that we get very clear. What is the outcome we’re trying to drive and what role do we want that associate doctor to play in achieving that outcome?” (21:27)

“At the end of the day we all have four limited resources: time, energy, focus and money. And being a CEO you recognize it’s your job to marshal those four limited resources of your organization.” (28:10)
