Summary
The Leadership Test that Nobody Talks About | E309 Highlights from this episode: The Leadership Test that Nobody Talks About (01:00) Closing Thought: Keep it + Multiply it! (28:02) Hiring an associate taught me something I wasn’t expecting: great leadership isn’t about creating copies of yourself—it’s about helping other people become the best version of themselves. In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned while onboarding a new graduate, why most practice owners accidentally become the bottleneck to growth, and how building systems around people’s strengths creates a stronger business than forcing everyone into the same mold. We also dive into why teaching others has made me a better doctor, a better CEO, and a better communicator. If you’re looking to grow your practice, add associates, or build a team that thrives without depending on you, this episode is for you.
