Did you know: Each position in your practice should contribute toward the practice's goals? Tiff and Kristy break down why each position should have a vision and specific metrics (starting at the job description), and how together, alongside all the other positions, they work toward the greater good of the practice.

I am so excited to be here today. I am always excited to be here today you guys I love podcasting I really really do and I love podcasting with other people more than solo and I get to pull consultants in and Britt from HR Headquarters over there HQ and Eve from marketing like I get to pull in just the most fun people from our team to Just double up and get some time with Kristy I've got you today and this is like our special time together and I just love it. So, and Kristy, I put you specifically at the end of my podcasting day. I hope you noticed that not just because of timing, but because you bring a sense of calm to my life and podcasting with you, not to say that it's not easy with anyone else on our team, but you really like, it's just so easy. You bring a sense of calm and ease. And I was like, that's what I want to end my day with. So thank you for. opening up your schedule to me and for being here today, Kristy, how are you? DAT Kristy (00:59) Good, absolutely. I love it too. I mean, we were just talking the other day because we don't get much time together and so I know we look forward to this time. now that I know you put me at the end of the day on purpose, I love it. I love it. I love it. Yeah, it's a good way to end the day. The Dental A Team (01:13) Surprise! Good. Well, I'm glad. know Mondays are busy for you. Our team does, we do meeting Mondays and so it gets a little jam packed, but it's nice because we get it. I feel like we get all of that admin stuff out of the way and we get aligned on actions we need to take for the week kind of all together on the same day. And then we just spearhead our week ready to go. Well, Kristy, ⁓ today is exciting. I I'm gonna actually pull in what we were just talking about. you guys, you guys know, avid listeners, you guys have been here. We've been doing this podcast for a really long time, you guys, and if you have ideas on things that you want to hear, please send them in because our little brains over here are just thinking of all of these things. Sometimes they feel like, did we just record this? It's like this content sounds so similar to something else we've talked about. And so I don't know how to label this one. But I want you guys to know we are going to chat today a little bit about job descriptions. And this is something that we find incredibly important. So we talk about it a lot. So I want to drive that home. They are so important. And Kristy, something that I recently recorded a podcast with Brittany. And something we talked about, part of that leadership skill, was being able to give direction to the team to execute decisions. as a leader, being able to execute decisions, being decisive and having execution as leadership, but also gifting that to the team. And we talked about the vision of the practice, kind of where the company's going and the leader, the owner, being able to utilize that for the culture of the company. But I kind of think right now, these job descriptions are the vision per position. It gives us our heading so that within my position in the practice or the organization, I can say yes, no, maybe, yes, this is the right decision right now for the company. And it brings about some clarity for everyone. Kristy, you, what do you think? DAT Kristy (03:28) Yeah, I love that you mentioned that because for so long, think we've all understood that job descriptions should have duties, right? I truly am a fan of duties versus titles, but also I think honing in on the other aspect of, think the duties, let me step back. The duties tell us what we're responsible for, but I think bringing in the other aspect tells us how the person should behave. And so I think they go hand in hand. And I think oftentimes we miss that other piece of it and then we get frustrated when we don't hire that person. The Dental A Team (04:11) Yeah, I agree. in ⁓ a layer on top of that, you mentioned job duties and kind of how to behave. But even within that ⁓ what piece, the job duties, the clarification on the job duties, if I know that my job, my goal of my position is to have the schedule full, maybe I'm a schedule coordinator, and my number one metric is 90 % full on hygiene for the next five days, 80 % full doctor, like whatever that metric is. If I know that's my metric, then I think, my gosh, this one patient, my how-to says confirmations. And step one is text message, email, text message, email, but I know this person is 85 years old and they're not getting these text messages. I don't have to question, do I call this patient? My job, my goal is to get that patient here for that appointment, no matter what that means looks like. So I think that vision and that ⁓ very clear cut, this is what the metric is of your position. I sitting in that scheduling coordinator position can say, Julie, at 85, I'm just gonna call her. I'm not gonna mess with the text messages and wait until three days before if I know she needs a call and we need to confirm her right. Like I have this information, but we often get asked, Kristy, I think. by different team members that they're like, well, can I do this? I'm like, well, does it get you to your goal? Is it a part of what gets the practice to our goals? Heck yeah, I think that's a great idea. It gives you the space to be creative, to get to the results that you need to get to, that are set as parameters because you know what you're driving towards. DAT Kristy (05:58) Yeah, you said that so well. So again, I'm with you. It's not just the duties and how we behave and perform them. But like you said, then we can tie it to what metrics am I responsible for? And one other piece behind that is painting the clarity. If it's 90 % reappointment rate or, you know, whatever metric I am responsible for. Now, what system comes behind that metric if it's not where I want it to be, right? So then I can pull up the system and say, hey, am I not working the system properly or do I need to find a new system because our system's not working any longer to get the result we want? The Dental A Team (06:45) for sure and that's where teams come to us, or office managers, and they're like, my team has no accountability, how do I hold them accountable? Or how do I get my team to hold themselves accountable? How do I get them to own their jobs? It's really hard to own something if you don't have complete clarity around that goal that you're working towards. And so having those smart goals with those metrics tied to them, Kristy, like you just said, allows that person then, like you've said, to work backwards from the result to see What did I do that got the result? Because anything you do, I literally just said it this morning, I say it all the time, even consistently being inconsistent is going to get you a result. Consistently doing anything will get you the result. And if your consistency lies in inconsistently, I'm always inconsistent, you're going to get a result. So knowing what your target result is in comparison to the result that you got allows you to backtrack and say, DAT Kristy (07:25) Yeah. The Dental A Team (07:41) Was I inconsistent in my utilization of my systems? Or is the system just flawed and I need to reinvent that wheel? Totally fine too, but it allows the space for that. And Kristy, the way you said it was it allows the person holding that metric to see it themselves and can to it, which takes training and it takes consistency from leadership to constantly point back to the metrics, to constantly be like, okay, ⁓ what what is your metric, your standard, and then what did you reach? And when there's questions that come up like, Kristy, like, do I call this lady? You're like, well, what is your metric? Does it get you there? And I think that consistency is that accountability piece that people are lacking. DAT Kristy (08:27) Yeah, I agree with you. ⁓ Just like you said, it's very easy once we've painted that clarity and we have understanding also for the team to report back to you. You shouldn't have to ask. But I also would say don't just report back. Report back and let them know your trend because maybe it is 90 % reappointment rate that we're looking at. ⁓ Literally, I was just on with an office that was It's almost embarrassing to say they haven't looked at their rates for reappointment. She's like 50 some percent and I'm like, yeah, that could be a problem, right? ⁓ Yeah, let's not focus on 50. Let's talk that the goal is 90 and let's start talking about your trend, right? So even if I'm reporting it talk about your trend where were you and where are we going? And then I also like to say with that TIF is recognize what's working well and reinforce the good. gets reinforced gets repeated, right? And then get team talking about what they will do to overcome any opportunities if we're not at the mark we want. The Dental A Team (09:36) Yeah, I love that. I love that so much. you just, you saying that about the practice, I'm like, my gosh, that's fantastic. Like 50%, that's not fantastic, but look at how much space there is to create something different. Like that's really freaking cool because practices come in and they're like, I don't know what to do. And I don't know why it's this way. And I just need this. And it's like, this is so cool because there are spaces. that are really, really simple to tackle that you just didn't uncover yet. And we get to come in and help uncover those. So it's like 50 % reappointment rate. That's fantastic because now we can implement two to three daily actions that severely change the projection in a company that you may have come to us thinking, and I don't know this client, I don't know what she or he was thinking like, but they may have been thinking like, my hands are tied, what do I do? how do I get more patients? I need more new patients. I hear that all the time and I'm like, well, what about the patients we have? It's so cool. So you just got me really excited about that. So I'm like, holy cow, I can't wait to hear these results. It's gonna be fantastic. But that's case in point. There's a couple of people that probably need that metric, right? A hygienist, hygiene team and scheduling coordinators, like they need these metrics because now they understand what their purpose is in the company and how they can contribute to the overall goals. DAT Kristy (10:40) Yeah. Yeah. The Dental A Team (11:02) Many doctors, I think Kristy, you and I both come across this, many doctors are really afraid, or business owners in general, to talk goals. And I think the piece that gets missed is that goals drive the courage to push forward in life. Without a goal, without a drive, we're just complacent. And so not talking about them and not talking about how each position can contribute towards those goals, I think is actually a disservice and holding people back. DAT Kristy (11:39) Yeah, I agree with you, Tiff. think a lot of times people get stuck because goals are related to a lot of times in dentistry, monetary amounts, right? But truly, it's no different than us at home. We have a checkbook and we have a bank account and we have standard bills that we have to pay. And it's not that we have to get nitty gritty on that stuff, but we all have to understand there's a cost of doing business unless we're a not-for-profit organization, you know? And so again, I love ⁓ how you and Kiera talk about the metrics aren't to beat ourselves up, right? It's not a stick to beat ourselves up with. It truly is just a measure of how healthy we're getting our patients. And the minute that we really get transparent about the numbers and what they mean and relate it to just like patient health and practice health, I mean, we always talk about getting our patients healthy. What about talking about a healthy practice too, right? And we need to let team know just because, I mean, we hear it every day as consultants, a practice could do $6 million and I could have another practice that does a million and the 6 million inevitably people might think is more healthy than a million and truly that's not the case. So we need to educate our teams and let them know those numbers mean more. And ⁓ truly it's a reflection of how healthy our patients are and how healthy the practice is. The Dental A Team (13:14) Yeah, I totally agree. I totally agree. And your individual metrics then add up to those results. So those of you who are building out the job descriptions, like yes, you need like a how-to, we need to know what those systems and protocols are. But separate from that, they need a heading. They need to know how do I show up? It's like, what are our core values? How do I show up in this position? If we've got, I don't know, a check-in spot, right? We've got a patient coordinator who's at check-in. DAT Kristy (13:19) Thank you. The Dental A Team (13:40) and her job description does not say you sit up straight, you smile, and you greet patients with eye contact as soon as they walk in, you can't complain when she's got her head down on the computer or she's got her cell phone and patients are walking in and they're not being greeted. So get nitty gritty on those spaces because that's easy to achieve, right? If she reads that or he reads that, it's like, ⁓ that's the expectation, that's how I'll show up. And then now that feeds into your reschedule rate. DAT Kristy (13:49) I can't. The Dental A Team (14:09) Right? Patients are like, heck yeah, I'm coming back. I love seeing Sonia up front. Like it just all feeds into one another. So I think breaking that down into what is this position accomplishing for my practice within the goals that we have set. So if this is my vision, why do I have this position? Why do I have a scheduling coordinator? Why do I have a dental assistant? And then some pieces I think that I promised Kristy we would talk about some positions that you don't always think about. Right? So like sterile tech. come on guys, there are so many sterile technicians running around that don't know what the heck they're supposed to be doing, there's no job description for a sterile tech and we just kind of run in the mill, let them figure it out, that's the dental way. So like sterile tech or, Kristy, one I know is really big right now is virtual assistants and I have a client who has an entire team of virtual assistants and Kristy, how important is it for the metrics? the job description ⁓ just in the VA space, so for the VAs, but how important is it for the team to have that VA job description too and know what they can count on those people for? DAT Kristy (15:21) ⁓ 100%. ⁓ The cool part with it too, Tiff, I mean, yeah, they need to know the expectations of what's being handled so they can hold them accountable just as any other team member, right? But also, I love, especially ⁓ offices where we're looking to develop leadership, when you have in an OM or a practice administrator, if you have a virtual assistant, what if... great opportunity for them to work with somebody to develop them, right? And you're literally paying them to be there and do a service, but yet your leadership team or developing leadership team can help them be accountable to the metrics, right, that the virtual assistant is there for. The Dental A Team (16:09) Yeah. Yeah, absolutely agree. I have a practice that was like, well, like, I know they're doing insurance verification. I'm like, cool. Well, one, how far out are they supposed to be? Like, what's the volume of insurance verifications they're doing? Because we've got some shifts in the front office. Could they take on calling on unpaid insurance claims? And they were like, I don't know. haven't. I have no idea what their time is like. And I haven't talked to them in weeks. I was like, ⁓ hold the phone. I'm going to I got to pick myself up off the floor real quick. Who's holding these people accountable? You've got to treat them just the same as you would if they were in your practice. And I think that's multifaceted. I have a practice who does really, really well with a couple of each spectrum. But one in particular does really well with virtual assistants because they create them to be part of the team. The virtual assistants do so much as to even show up for Daily Huddle. They're there with them. We have virtual assistants that show up for Daily Huddle. We know our VAs. practices that it's just like, they're doing this thing and they think of them as a separate entity. I think the VAs get lost. I think the sterile techs get lost. The sterile techs of the world are just lost in our dental field. And they're looking for that direction and they're looking for that drive. I think our VA, right, we've got a newly onboarded one as well, but our VA who just celebrated six months with us, I found out, he has incredible direction in his position. And I see that he finds fulfillment in the things that he does for our company. And that's really cool to watch and to see. I know we get fulfillment. It's very easy to get fulfillment as a consultant. Like we get to work hands-on with the clients every day. Same as a dental practice, you guys get to see the changes you're making in the patient's mouths, right? And in their daily lives, you know? So then to find metrics where it's like, no, even as a virtual assistant, even as an onboarded, outsourced billing company, like these are the metrics that are going to show us that you're actually adding incredible value to our team. And how cool is that to have that heading to be like, I get to go to work every day and I get to help this team do better for their community. And that's the piece that I just feel like is missing in a lot of different spaces. DAT Kristy (18:15) Yeah. Yeah, I love that you say that, Tiff, because a lot of, I mean, we're familiar, probably the most popular one is in the insurance realm, right? And so I know even a lot of the virtual companies will set up time to meet with the offices weekly, right? And so again, for the OM or the practice administrator, I'm like, how often are you on those? Not very often. I'm like, man, what a missed opportunity, right? Again, to develop your leadership and share with them. What's your expectations? We want zero claims over 90 days. And again, the metrics aren't to beat ourselves up. If it's not there, how fun to celebrate when, just like the re-care, right? When they hit 60%, we're gonna be celebrating because one little change, right? But painting that clarity, where are we going? What's my expectation? And then getting the team's commitment into how can we... The Dental A Team (19:17) massive. DAT Kristy (19:27) improve this, right? But I think you also mentioned something earlier, even outside of the virtual assistant realm, but all of our team members, how often are we meeting with them? And how often are we ⁓ taking the time away from the business to grow and develop them? Right? And review their metrics. Yeah. The Dental A Team (19:45) Yeah, massive. Yeah, and how do you do that if you don't know what you're reviewing? Like, how do you do that if you don't know what their accountabilities are? And how do you help grow someone? know one of the big pieces of leadership that we train on is being able to develop people and giving them a growth plan. And I remember being asked, oh my gosh, I don't even know. I was probably like 28, I don't know, 27. I might. boss, my office manager pulls me into the office for my one-on-one and she's like, well, where do you see yourself in five years? And I was like, I don't know. Like I think my only, that could be your position. Like what, I don't know what, I don't know what that means, right? Because in those positions in the practice, they don't know. They don't know what's possible, right? Unless they've been there before. There may be somebody who's maybe worked in another practice and she managed or worked in another practice and he saw this great manager he aspires to be, but most of the time we don't know. And so providing that growth plan, even within the job description of these are the metrics that I get to help grow those. So I can find growth and fulfillment within my own position because I'm growing the practice and growing these metrics. I don't need to take your job. DAT Kristy (20:45) Mm-hmm. The Dental A Team (21:03) I can be happy and satisfied in my own because it's written out for me and we're talking about it in the one-on-ones. We're seeing how, you know, where's my goal and how far away am I? Just the same as we're seeing the trends and everything else. So Kristy, I totally agree. Really my 28 year old brain would have been like, this is amazing if it had been like, here's some things that I see, you know? And otherwise I'm like, I don't know. Like how do I answer that? You know? DAT Kristy (21:29) Yeah. Well, and to your point, Tiff, with that being said, don't forget to rope in your virtual assistants and have those conversations with them too. Because I think, like you mentioned earlier, the practices that we see ⁓ truly utilizing virtual assistants well are incorporating them, right? They're sharing the expectation, but they're also giving them that feedback and they're treating them like a team member, you know? So if you guys are doing a bonus system, don't forget your virtual assistants or your sterile techs, right? Include them. They're a huge part of the practice. So. The Dental A Team (22:08) Yeah, yeah, and to your point, the team that I referenced that does really well with the virtual assistants, the virtual assistant that now does a lot of their scheduling started as insurance verifications and they grew her and she learned the schedule, she listened to the team on calls, they groomed her into that position so that she could take it on because she wanted growth. So I agree, I agree. So gosh, Kristy, this one became really, really fun. Thank you. for that and taking that journey. And you guys, hope that there are some amazing tidbits that you're able to pick up from here. The biggest one is know your vision, know your goals. Like where is your practice heading so that you can then dial in where is each position heading within those goals. That's gonna be massive. So job descriptions, yes, we can talk about job descriptions all the time. Go Google it on our page, like search it. You're gonna find a million of them. The big point today is the metrics. Like what are these jobs providing? towards your goal, what's inspiring them to do their work every day, and how are you talking about it and communicating it with them. So, Kristy, thank you so much. I love taking these journeys, and you made this really fun. I appreciate you today, and always every day. Yeah. DAT Kristy (23:20) Thank you. Thank you. Always back at you. The Dental A Team (23:24) Thank you, thank you. you guys, Kristy's always here for the fun, just expanding on what we're even talking about stuff. for her name on these podcasts. You will never be disappointed. You're always gonna love them. And as always, leave us a five star review. We'd love to hear what you think and we'd love to hear anything that you guys have in addition to what we talked about. We know we don't know it all. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. You can reach us there and we cannot wait to hear from you guys until next time

The Tropical MBA Podcast - Entrepreneurship, Travel, and Lifestyle
What happens when you've optimized everything… and growth still stalls? In this episode, Dan and Ian break down a powerful distinction most founders miss: the difference between optimization (making your business run smoother) and growth (finding and testing new paths to scale). They unpack insights from Growth Levers by Matt Lerner, a framework that helped PayPal and other startups unlock massive growth and why it still applies to bootstrappers today.

Welcome back to another World Business Forum NYC 2023 Series episode from Stories from the River. Host Charlie Malouf leads the conversation with returning guests Heather Greenwood and Brian Deckelnick, Sr. Director of Supply Chain at Broad River Retail, as they unpack the insights from Will Guidara's presentation. Will was the former co-owner and GM of the #1 rated restaurant in the world, Eleven Madison Park in NYC, and he chronicled his restaurant's journey to becoming the best in the world in his book "Unreasonable Hospitality." Will received a paperweight from his Dad (who was also a restauranteur) when he was a kid that said, "What would you attempt if you knew you couldn't fail?" Will still has that paperweight today and reflects on that question to pursue big goals in his life without the worry of potentially failing preventing him from pursuing them. Another statement from Will's presentation is that adversity is a terrible thing to waste and that adversity can drive our competitiveness and can be channeled for good. Will stated that he doesn't have the superpower of being a professional athlete or a world-class chef, but that his superpower is hospitality. He said that he wanted to be unreasonable in his pursuit of people. Will spent a lot of time talking about the pre-meal Daily Huddle and the power of the twice daily repetition from these meetings involving everyone in the restaurant. In their pursuit of being the best restaurant in the world, Will described their approach to brainstorming with everybody empowered to share. That's how they came up with 120 customer touchpoints and opportunities to make the ordinary extraordinary. Will says that people today are collecting touchpoints like memories. He says that raindrops make oceans. Will says that generosity begets generosity, assymetrically, and that small gestures can yield significant results. In overcoming obstacles when a customer experience turns negative, Will says that moments of tension are the moments to lean in. He says that bad experiences are the best ones if you can come back from it and that customers will be forgiving based on how you recover. These turnaround experiences can leave the lasting imprint for the customer. Will says that you can put in systems to be prepared for both fall downs or memorable moments. They hired someone in the position of Dreamweaver to systematize and curate ideas to be able to bring them to life. They used pattern recognition and listening to customers in the restaurant to create one size fits one gestures, because every customer is one of one. This led to the creation of the Hospitality Toolkit, which helped them to be ready for these moments. In their attempt to systematize improv, so to speak, they wanted to make experiences worth collecting. Like Maya Angelou said, "People won't remember what you say, but they'll remember how you made them feel." Not only did Will want to make his customers feel special, but he also explained how he wanted to inspire his people at Eleven Madison Park and make sure that each of them knew that they mattered and that their ideas had value. Will said that the secret to recruiting and retention was restoring purpose in the work with generosity, graciousness, and hospitality, and helping people understand the nobility in service. Will said that you need to help people understand how their work inspires others. Will said that business needs more "Awesome" in it, and he's trying to bring back "Awesome." He's trying to create magical worlds in a world that needs more magic. In the Q & A portion, here were the key takeaways. On trusting people, Will said that the more responsibility you give someone, the more responsible they become. On spreading positivity, Will said to have your positive energy impact others and not the other way around, through consistency and repetition. On customer service, Will says, "No guest left behind." On mistakes, Will said that with the Peak-end Rule, mistakes present the best opportunity to recover and gain a fan for life, because they will remember how you leave it. On connecting with guests, Will says the informality must be earned. Earning informality comes from presence, humor, and vulnerability. On decision making and execution to get things done, Will said that design by committee doesn't work. He said that you can brainstorm by committee, but someone has to be responsible for making the decision and executing. On interviewing people, Will suggests less structure and more connection where he's trying to answer the question, 'Is this someone I'd want to spend time with?' and 'Is this someone my team would want to spend time with?'

Maybe you call it a daily stand up. Maybe it's a huddle, or even a status meeting. But has your team stopped to ask if these daily meetings are really working for them?Today's episode digs into the benefits and pitfalls of the remote stand up – from aligning with your team, to leading with empathy, to meetings that really could have been an email. You'll hear from Marshall Walker Lee in defence of daily stand ups, with support from Matan Talmi, the co-founder of Spinach.io, and Kate Sullivan, head of legal at EasyJet. New debater David Shaw says ditch the synced meetup, with support from corporate humor comedian and Supermeme.ai co-founder, Sanjeev Yencee.
The discipline of execution covers meetings that matter, uses metrics and measures that matter, and tackles priorities that matter. The first meeting worth having is the daily huddle. These 15-minute meetings involve the team, round-robin style, and are best used for sharing quick insights and updates for the coming day.Anything longer must be discussed in the next meeting you should be having, the weekly meeting. Every department must have a weekly meeting that reviews quarterly priorities called rocks.Monthly meetings are for larger companies with middle management and these focus on education and building culture. The quarterly meeting takes 1 to 2 days while the annual meeting takes 3 to 5 days. These meetings are typically offsite and cover strategic and execution planning with the one-page business plan.Tune in to learn all about maximizing meetings and being intentional with them in this episode of The Disruptive Successor Show.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESJONATHAN: Share quick updates during the daily huddle"What is it that is the top priority that I want to get done this day, that I'm going to communicate to the group, and I'm going to sort of expect them to hold me accountable so that tomorrow, I'm not saying the same thing."JONATHAN: Weekly meetings are best for making decisions"These meetings are most important for identifying, discussing, and solving issues. So decision-making, brainstorming, troubleshooting, making decisions on one or two key issues, opportunities, challenges, and quarterly rocks."JONATHAN: The one-page business plan explained"We use a tool called the one-page business plan, and the purpose of this tool is to really put our vision down on a piece of paper, and to answer several simple questions around your dream, which is, simply put, who, what, when, where, how, why, and the always difficult, should we or shouldn't we."

❌ Newsflash: Productivity is keeping you stuck on the "working all hours" hamster wheel. The definition of productivity is, quite literally, the amount of output you produce. The more you can fit into a day, the more "productive" you are. And as someone juggling a lot, achieving peak productivity used to feel like the holy grail for me. "If only I could learn how to get more things done!" I used to think, "I can finally reach my endgame and FINALLY start working less!" Sounds good in theory, buuuut... Here's what happened. I DID learn how to get more things done.In fact, I managed to achieve more in a week than just about anyone else I knew. And the BY PRODUCT of that? Is that I was then able to fit even MORE in... and so the hamster wheel continued, faster and faster and faster. Get more things done > Able to take on more things > Repeat. I never ended up working LESS, I was just getting way more DONE in the hours I worked. The more productive I was, the more I could do. The more I could do, the more I could take on. And because I had set "work times", what that meant is that I was never doing LESS... I was simply squeezing more and more in.One day, I had a penny drop moment...Maybe, I thought, it's not actually about getting more TASKS done in a day. Maybe instead, it's installing more operational elegance into my business and how I do things SO THAT the business can be more effective, and ultimately need me less. It was a defining moment, and in today's podcast episode, I am going to share with you five things that I started doing that finally got me OFF the productivity hamster wheel and towards the work/life balance I was doing it all for in the first place. In this episode, we discussed:✔️ PLAN;✔️ Do Less;✔️ Plan Tomorrow Today (Aaaand... If You Have a Team, Implement a Daily Huddle);✔️ Time Block;✔️ Measure Key Metrics;✔️ And MORE!------Here's a few ways I can help you:1.

In this episode, Brad and Kevin discuss why you need a daily huddle, what a daily huddle agenda must include, and tips for a successful daily huddle.

Are you wondering how to get everyone on your team operating from the same playbook? If you're a school owner, a very common scene we have is the admin team or the directors are confused about what they're supposed to be doing in their day. Many times I hear from owners that their directors are doing a whole bunch of different things. They're busy all day long, but they're not doing specific targeted activity that truly drives the school forward. In the end, no one ends their day feeling productive and none of the high priority tasks get completed. The Daily Huddle strategy allows you to briefly meet with your team and see what everyone is owning for the day and where their priorities need to be. This helps the team to be focused, motivated and clear on exactly what you need from them. Do you... Need your team to meet deadlines? Want to know how you can do this without micromanaging and chasing them down? Want to know what questions you should ask to ensure accountability? This episode is for you! In episode twelve of the Schools of Excellence Podcast, I am talking about another key strategy for the success of your school, the daily huddle. This technique is all about communicating clearly every single day, managing expectations and priorities within your team. Finger pointing, gossip and resentment decrease as everyone gets more and more in alignment and clear with what they are doing. We break down this method and how it can work for your school today.
