If there is one dental lab in the United States that probably every single dentist in the US has heard of (and probably used at least once), it's Glidewell Dental Labs in Newport Beach, California. For over 50 years, it has been run by the guy with his name on the building, but about 3 years ago, a new CEO was announced and everyone said Stephenie who? This week we get to know Stephenie Goddard and her history with Glidewell. Starting 18 years ago to run their HR department, she has seen Glidewell go from 1,100 employees to 5,000. She has seen the technology explode and the industry changing Bruxzir enter the field. Just wait until she talks about how she found out that she was going to be the CEO. Stephenie talks about the importance of culture, leadership training, and making sure she doesn't spend too much time "sweating the small stuff".
