Can leaders be friends with their team?

It’s a question that makes a lot of leaders uncomfortable, especially in small businesses and dental practices where teams are tight-knit and relationships run deep.

In this episode of Back in 10, Jen and Savanah unpack the blurred lines between leadership and friendship. They talk about the challenges of moving from peer to leader, why wanting to be liked can sometimes get in the way of good leadership, and how boundaries actually create safer, healthier teams.

Because leadership does not mean you stop caring about your people. But it does mean making decisions that serve the patients, the practice, and the team as a whole.

If you have ever struggled with balancing friendship and leadership, this conversation will resonate.
