Why an Extreme Ownership Mentality can Be Harmful


Listen Later

Could believing you can control every outcome in your life and business do more harm than good? Join me, Dr. Paul Etchison, as I share a deeply personal story about my daughter's struggle with anxiety in competitive cheerleading and how it mirrors the challenges of managing a dental practice. We'll explore the concept of extreme ownership and its impact on both personal and professional realms, delving into self-doubt, mental blocks, and anxiety's effect on performance. Learn how addressing these issues can lead to better outcomes and a more balanced approach to life and leadership.

In the second part of the episode, we navigate the complex journey of managing employee turnover over 12 years in a dental practice. From the early days of minimal turnover due to life events to the post-COVID "firing phase" and the challenging "exodus" phase, I'll share my reflections on balancing accountability with self-compassion. We'll question the effectiveness of an internal locus of control and determine how to maintain a positive work environment despite inevitable changes. Stay tuned for a major announcement from DPH that you won't want to miss!
