This week, Dr. Andy Roark and Dr. Dave Nicol talk about Nicol’s co-authored research piece Leadership Actions and their Effects on Practice Culture. They discuss the importance of culture, why it is so rarely prioritized, what effect increasing corporatization is having on veterinary workplace culture, and which actions leaders take (or don’t take) that most directly impact clinic culture.
