On this episode of Dental Unscripted, Michael and Paula delve into the crucial topic of team culture and its impact on a dental practice. They argue that a great culture is essential for combating burnout and stress, which have become increasingly common in the dental community.

The hosts break down the foundational elements of a thriving culture, beginning with core values. They emphasize that leaders must be clear about their values, as this provides the framework for holding team members accountable. The conversation also highlights the importance of setting clear and specific expectations, moving beyond vague job descriptions to measurable goals.

Michael and Paula address the necessity of tackling conflict head-on. They explain that a leader's ability to "lean into" difficult conversations can strengthen relationships and propel the practice forward. They underscore the importance of creating a safe environment where team members feel comfortable resolving issues without fear. The episode concludes with the powerful idea that "culture eats strategy for breakfast" , because even the best plans will fail without an aligned and engaged team.
