## Resource

Here is an issue that seems so basic, so obvious, that most leaders don't even think about it as a strategy. But it might be one of the most powerful forces shaping whether your practice keeps patients… and keeps employees. It's this: Keeping your word. I call it The Promise Principle. Because in dermatology — just like in every other business — trust isn't built by what you say. Trust is built by what you do. And more specifically… trust is built by what you do consistently. A special thank you to GentleCure from SkinCure Oncology for sponsoring The Distinctive Dermatologist. Their commitment to helping dermatology practices deliver the Ultimate Customer Experience® reflects today's message: distinction isn't only built on outcomes. It's built on trust. And trust is built when leaders keep their word — with everyone you encounter.
