Episode 240 | Leveraging Kolbe A™ Index for Enhanced Team Dynamics with Niki Ramirez

Have you been diligently tracking metrics and setting goals for your practice, but are still stuck not seeing visible results?   In today's episode I took a deep dive into how to actually get your team to take action to make progress toward your practice’s goals. Because success doesn’t come from setting goals or tracking metrics; it comes as the result of the actions we take based on the information we gather.   In this episode, I focus on the importance of action in achieving our objectives as group practice owners. I discussed the significance of leadership meetings, not just as a formality, but as a platform to celebrate our successes, assess our journey, and activate our team for action. I also explain the need to distill our larger goals into smaller, more manageable tasks, setting quarterly and biweekly milestones to keep us on track. If you have some big goals for your group practice that you’re ready to set in motion, join me to learn more about:    The role of action in driving tangible progress and results within a group practice Sharing an effective structure of leadership meetings that result in action taking How to regularly assess where your team stands in relation to practice goals to help maintain focus and direction Exploring the concept of breaking down large goals into smaller, manageable steps in your practice Examples of how a practice might use their accountability tracker including examples of yearly goals, quarterly goals, and biweekly action items    Remember that setting goals is just the beginning. It's the consistent, deliberate actions we take that will lead you to success in your group practice. Let's keep moving forward, one step at a time!   Thanks for listening! Like what you heard?
