Most dental organizations are drowning in dashboards.

But data alone doesn’t build high-performing teams.

In this episode of Dental Operations Unpacked, Jake Larson and Clint Barry sit down with Ann Alterson , Director at Elite Dental Partners, to talk about what actually drives execution across multi-location dental organizations.

Ann shares:

• Why being a top performer doesn’t automatically make you a great leader

• How to turn KPIs into real action

• The 20% effort that creates 80% results

• Why execution improves when leaders stop fixing and start coaching

• How to use data without overwhelming your team

• The power of roleplay and uncomfortable conversations

If you're leading offices, regions, or entire DSOs, this conversation will shift how you think about performance, culture, and long-term growth.

👉 Strong teams outlast any KPI.
