This week on the podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and the amazing Stephanie Goss answer a question about working for a manager who doesn't seem to want to manage. This person was promoted up from the front desk and does not have any formal management experience. Now the new manager does her best, but isn't effective at managing or motivating people. The practice owner doesn't want to hear about this problem and turns a blind eye. What can possibly be done???
