In this episode of the Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon breaks down the most common leadership flaws hurting today’s private practices—and how they quietly drive burnout, turnover, low morale, and declining client experience. He outlines practical, real-world issues leaders face: lack of clear vision and role-based accountability, micromanagement, poor delegation, low emotional intelligence, resistance to change, inconsistent decision-making, weak conflict resolution, and an overfocus on short-term outcomes at the expense of sustainable strategy. A major throughline is communication: when goals, priorities, and expectations aren’t explicit, teams lose motivation, productivity drops, and opportunities disappear because employees stop speaking up. Brandon calls out the “know-best manager” who shuts down input and creates fearful, disengaged staff—ultimately hurting innovation and service quality. The episode closes with actionable coaching strategies leaders can implement immediately: structured feedback (360 reviews), clear communication frameworks, active listening, documented systems and tools, and measurable accountability habits that rebuild trust and performance.
