0:00 ... Ross hello and welcome the crew ... episode #227 is dedicated to Jordan Walsh of the Celtics. 0:59 ... Bruce introduces his fellow "Brucie B" ... Bruce Bowen ... 1:49 ... Bruce tells the story of the "unretirement" of his #12 jersey that he wore with the Spurs. 3:17 ... How Bowen basically created the position we now know as the "Three and D" and what the role meant to him. 5:02 ... On his battles with Kobe Bryant and how he approached the matchup ... his description of how he used film to prepare is really interesting. And how Kobe was always in attack mode. 7:34 ... Bowen's legendary battle with LeBron James in the 2007 NBA Finals and how he forced LeBron into uncomfortable shots.  But Bruce also appreciates LeBron's skills. 9:00 ... Ross asks Bruce about current stars and how he would guard some of them.  Jaylen Brown is singled out by Bowen for his intelligence in many areas. 11:33 ... Phoenix Suns fan Ross still has nightmares from his Suns playing the Spurs back in the day.  Bruce explains how hard it was to beat those guys in the postseason and how the Suns never played defense under Mike D'Antoni. 14:25 ... Bruce played for Pat Riley in Miami early in his career and he shares some amazing insight on how he and Riles interacted during their time together.  He tells an incredible story about a tense contract discussion and how he said goodbye to Miami and bet on himself to succeed in San Antonio. 18:57 ... Bruce played for Miami in some intense playoff battles against the Knicks and Bruce explains the connection from two coaches named Van Gundy with Riles.  Bruce has memories of Knicks fans coming to Florida to root for the Knicks. 21:27 ... World B asks Bruce about Tim Duncan and why he is not in the "GOAT" conversation.  Bruce gives a great analysis of how Tim thinks and how he took the baton from David Robinson and won more championships.  Bruce gives a great blueprint on Duncan's road to becoming a leader.  Bruce shares a great story of how Gregg Popovich made it clear that if Tim felt he wanted to leave San Antonio, he should explore his options.  And Tim never left. 25:18 ... Bruce takes a deep dive into his relationship with Gregg Popovich and how people misconstrued Pop's relationship with players.  Pop always made it clear that his job was to coach guys and that the negative stuff always came from a good place. 29:18 ... As for the current Spurs team ... there's tremendous upside with Victor Wembanyama and young head coach Mitch Johnson.  Victor brings guys together and all the current players respect each other.  Bruce mentions Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper as young studs along with a mature group of veterans that have quickly developed great chemistry. 33:16 ... Wemby has a competitive edge that has surprised a lot of people because of the way he looks.  The way he presented himself at All Star Weekend demonstrated leadership. 36:08 ... Bruce explains how Mitch Johnson has echoed some of Pop's philosophy but in a more contemporary style.  Pop was so much of a legend that he seemed unapproachable to younger guys but Mitch is from their era and relates well. 39:09 ... Dylan Harper is a rookie who is learning quickly what it means to be a Spur.  Having a system that emphasizes the team over personal agendas helps young players develop more quickly.  Bruce feels the team success gives Harper a chance to make a bigger impact that hotter rookie names like Cooper Flagg and VJ Edgecombe. 42:07 ... Bruce from 48 Minutes predicted greatness for the Spurs long before they started playing like a championship contender.  But they're so far ahead of schedule that they look like they could win it all this year.  What could stop them?  The "other" Bruce breaks it all down. 44:57 ... When discussing the officials and all the heat they're getting, Bruce feels like the the replays have hurt the relationship between players, coaches, and refs.  Bruce has little patience for guys that can't put a bad call behind them and keep playing.   As always, he has a great story about official Danny Crawford, who was inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame. 48:59 ... The 65 game minimum for postseason awards has cost some players awards that they might have won.  Is 65 the right number of minimum games or should the number be lower ... maybe 62?  Bruce feels the awards should take a back seat to what is best for the team. 52:13 ... Word Association ... David Robinson: Man of Faith 53:21 ... Draymond Green ... Fiery and Comfortable with Self 56:11 ... Luka Doncic ... Talented to a Fault 57:42 ...Tony Parker ... Wisdom at a Young Age 59:14 ... Shai Gilgeous Alexander ... Aggressive Competitor 1:00:17 ... Ross wraps it up ... thanks Bruce ... and says goodbye ...   TRT 1:01:13         Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You've done the work. You've delivered the results. You've been reliable, capable, professional and you're still being overlooked.In this episode, I'm going to talk about why that happens and I'm not going to soften it.We cover the competence trap - why doing excellent work alone will never be enough in certain environments, and why that's not an accident. We talk about the toxic workplace dynamics that keep talented people stuck: the deliberate withholding of support, the chosen ones, the narratives that get shut down the moment someone points out the playing field isn't level.Then we get practical. How do you control a narrative that's being shaped against you without reacting in a way that makes things worse? What does real strategy actually look like and how is it different from just working out who to impress? For my INFJ listeners, this one's especially for you and how you operate strategically when you feel everything deeply and can't just switch it off at the door?This episode ends with a hard question. One worth sitting with.If you've ever felt invisible at work despite being good at what you do this one's for you.

In this powerful episode of Hire Expectations, we sit down with Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward to talk about the growing rise of harassment, intimidation, and toxic behaviour in public life and why it's becoming a serious barrier to leadership.During the pandemic, abuse toward elected officials escalated dramatically. What began as heated disagreement crossed the line into threats, hostility, and targeted attacks. The impact? Talented, community-minded individuals choosing not to run for office, and others stepping away entirely.That's where Elect Respect comes in.Mayor Meed Ward shares how the movement began, what it aims to change, and why respectful civic engagement is not just about politics. It's about protecting democracy, encouraging diverse leadership, and ensuring strong communities for the future.We explore:• Why toxic behaviour in public spaces is increasing• The real human cost of harassment in leadership• How it affects who is willing to step forward• What individuals and organizations can do to shift the culture• Why respect is foundational to healthy workplaces and communitiesThis conversation goes beyond politics. It speaks to leadership, culture, accountability, and the environments we are creating for the next generation.If we want thoughtful, courageous leaders, we have to create conditions where they can lead safely.Listen now and join the conversation.

But Annie's story isn't just about talent; it's about the framework she built to unlock consistency at the highest level.In this conversation, Annie challenges the idea of surface-level New Year's resolutions and introduces a more intentional way of thinking about progress. She touches on the behind-the-scenes habits and routines that shaped her career, without handing over a checklist.You'll also hear reflections on balance, longevity, and the mental demands of the heptathlon, along with perspective on navigating setbacks and uncertainty at the most critical moments of a career.Annie shares how learning to better understand her body became a turning point, and why she's now focused on helping other women build sustainable routines through coaching, challenges, and a newly evolving fitness platform designed for real life.From Olympic-level intensity to steak-as-a-love-language, this episode is thoughtful, reflective, and full of perspective worth sitting with.Tap into the Annie Kunz Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

***Special thanks to KEEL Radio’s Erin McCarty and Mike Martindale; to Tony Taglavore (shreveportbossierjournal.com) for his excellent 2024 feature story about Larry Ryan, and to Twin Blends: Northwest Louisiana History Hunters’ Facebook page for a few photos in today’s story.  I had the pleasure of working as a part-time announcer for Larry Ryan nearly 50 years ago. During the early 1960’s, Larry Ryan may have heard the phrase “You’re fired!” more times than cartoon’s George Jetson did from his boss, Mr. Spacely. The young radio announcer had bounced around from one radio market to another in search of a few extra dollars per week. This 26-year old disk jockey was offered a $25/week raise to move to Shreveport, Louisiana and begin working the evening shift at Top 40 radio station KEEL 710AM in 1964. For more than 60 years, Shreveport, Bossier City and Ark-La-Tex region have embraced “Lovable” Larry Ryan and his immense radio creativity and talent. Last Friday, Ryan’s most recent Shreveport radio station employer (which played “The Greatest Hits of All Time” oldies format) abruptly advised him and his morning crew that their long-time popular morning show was being canceled. Effective immediately. The FM station was recently acquired by a new owner.  They wanted to go in a different direction with their 6-9AM morning show. Though it had been awhile, Larry Ryan was quite familiar with hearing that line again. Today, Larry Ryan’s first radio station employer in Shreveport brought him back on the air to provide him with a very dignified way to say, “Good bye” to his legions of loyal radio listeners. The final hour of Wednesday’s News/Talk 710 KEEL morning show featuring Erin McCarty and Mike Martindale was filled with tributes to the area’s radio broadcasting legend. Shreveport mayor Tom Arceneaux and Bossier City mayor Tommy Chandler each read proclamations making it “Larry Ryan Day” in both cities (February 11, 2026). How did Iowa native Larry Ryan become so beloved in Shreveport, LA? Larry Ryan is a native of Marshalltown, Iowa – just northeast of Des Moines.  After a one year stint at what is now Northern Iowa University, he joined the Air Force. If he thought it was cold in Iowa during the winter, Larry Ryan found himself stationed in frigid Minot, North Dakota.  That’s when he knew it was time to leave the Air Force and find a real job. He would become a radio announcer (DJ, if you prefer) who worked at stations in Iowa, Arkansas, Alabama, and Virginia prior to receiving an offer to work the evening shift at AM powerhouse KEEL Radio in Shreveport.  Larry reminded listeners today that he also brought along his long-time girlfriend, Suzy. They were married in Marshall, Texas upon his arrival in Shreveport.  More about Suzy Ryan in a bit. Larry Ryan’s evening show became a huge hit with the younger audience. He interacted with callers, had fun doing creative “live” spots for sponsors, and even created funny comedy song features such as “Hide The Booze” (performed to the instrumental version of “The Can-Can Song”). It wasn’t long before Larry Ryan was promoted to become KEEL’s morning show host. The 50,000 watt daytime signal of KEEL AM stretches from Texarkana to the north and southward through northeastern Texas and western and central Louisiana down I-49 to Lafayette. “Lovable” Larry Ryan’s morning show beginning in the mid-1960’s featured Top 40 rock and roll hits along with topics of local interest.  Talented radio newsmen like Ken Booth and Scott Hodges, syndicated commentator Paul Harvey, and a very unlikely local weatherman added more flavor to this increasingly popular show. This morning, Larry recounted that KEEL’s morning newsman Ken Booth did not like being asked to read the weather at the end of his local newscasts.  KEEL’s co-located FM affiliate KMBQ was playing automated reel-to-reel tapes of beautiful music.  Larry quickly grabbed the FM station’s young audio operator named Ralph Montgomery and said, “Get in here!  I want you to come read the weather on the air for me – now!” Ryan introduced his nervous and totally unprepared 6:05AM weather man to KEEL’s massive audience. “And now…the effervescent…Mr. Weather!”  Ralph Montgomery somehow made it through that first weather forecast and won a 50+year radio co-hosting role alongside of Larry Ryan. Mr. Weather’s unique sense of humor always seemed to tickle Larry’s funny bone. It was pure radio magic Larry Ryan & Mr. Weather became the foundation for KEEL’s incredible radio ratings success for the next decade.  KEEL’s morning show captured an unheard-of 50% of the total radio audience as both youngsters and their parents were fans of the show. Larry became KEEL’s program director and hired a number of extremely talented on-air personalities to work at other times of the day.  Howard Clark, Steve Kelly, Tommy Kramer, Ronald F. Montgomery (no relation to Ralph “Mr. Weather” Montgomery) and many others graduated to work at major market radio stations after being mentored by Larry Ryan at KEEL in Shreveport. Producing a top-notch commercial for clients is very important for radio stations. The creative voice and production talents of Larry Ryan and his team of announcers was in high demand for producing effective commercials on behalf of local, regional and national ad agencies. Larry’s wife, Suzy, became involved in selling radio advertising for KEEL.  She possessed a sincere belief in the effectiveness of the station’s primary product – especially her husband’s top-rated radio show.  Suzy remained laser-focused on business and supported Larry’s creative talent behind the microphone.  The duo’s business acumen translated into solid income for their soon-to-be growing family. After Suzy became pregnant with each of the couple’s two children (Corey and Casey), Larry frequently brought Suzy on the air to talk about how she had been feeling.  Their willingness to share such personal details over the air further endeared the couple to thousands of KEEL’s adult listeners. Larry Ryan played sports in high school and brought his love of sports to Shreveport Ryan formed the KEEL “Dirty Dribblers” basketball team and the KEEL “Nasty Nine” softball team.  The basketball team featured a few of the radio announcers but included legitimate sports talent such as former Northwestern State University basketball player-turned-media advertising specialist Al LeGrand.  The KEEL Dirty Dribblers and Nasty Nine softball teams played dozens of fund-raising games against the teachers and coaches at area schools. The goodwill resulting from those charity games served to reinforce the personal bond between the radio station’s listeners and “Lovable” Larry Ryan’s radio team. By 1974, the World Football League had started a new pro football league.  This came a few years after the American Football League had successfully merged with the NFL in 1970. The new WFL franchise located in Houston was already failing in Year #1. Larry Ryan took to the air expressing his firm belief that Shreveport and Bossier City (with about 350,000 residents) was quite capable of supporting the Houston WFL franchise – assuming it could be moved to Shreveport. Within weeks of Ryan’s daily on-air encouragement to local businesses and governmental leaders, the WFL’s Houston Texans (that was their name!) moved the franchise to Shreveport midway through the initial football season. The Shreveport Steamer of the World Football League was born.  A local crowd of more than 21,000 attended the Steamer’s first home game against Memphis in September, 1974.  Though Shreveport’s attendance remained solid, the WFL folded midway through its second season in 1975 under mounting financial pressures. Around this time, Larry and Suzy Ryan were offered a chance to buy another local radio station in Shreveport.  Unlike KEEL’s 50,000 watt signal, local station KBCL’s signal was just 250 watts and operated on a daytime-only frequency. The duo took the plunge anyway. They built a top-notch on-air and sales staff and pursued FCC approval to relocate the radio station onto a frequency with 24-hour capability.  Talented on-air personalities like Randy Davis (who enjoyed a long career in New York City), K.C. Daniels, Howard Jennings Hart, and Larry “Charlie” Monk joined the staff. Current FOX Sports football and basketball broadcaster Tim Brando also worked for Larry Ryan at KBCL prior to moving to a larger radio market and into his future television career. Though this under-powered AM radio station’s ratings were quite impressive, the inability to obtain a 24-hour operating frequency from the FCC, a declining local employment market, and the rise of FM competition forced the Ryans to return to their radio roots in the early 1980’s. Bringing it forward Larry Ryan would work for another 40 years (!) in the Shreveport area at various radio stations. He spent most of the past few decades playing 70’s and 80’s music formats for his faithful listeners. Ralph “Mr. Weather” Montgomery began a career in another field, but his employer allowed him to work early mornings with his long-time partner, too. Long-time friend and sales pro Al LeGrand stuck with Larry, too.  Al provided sports commentary for Ryan’s morning shows and enjoyed participating in some of the on-air hijinks until retiring several years ago. LeGrand built a very successful media advertising agency in Shreveport. Larry’s one-woman dynamo wife, Suzy Ryan, proudly formed her own media advertising agency.  She would (of course) provide sales support for Larry’s successful radio programs.  The Ryans’ two children would also enter the media business after completing their education. Sadly, Larry Ryan’s beloved wife and life partner, Suzy, passed away in 2013.  Larry has (at least until last Friday) continued to work his morning radio show for a local FM station. Interviewed two years ago, Larry Ryan (now in his 80’s) knew that his time behind the microphone would eventually come to an end. In that print interview in 2024, Larry Ryan said, “I’ve done good.  I’ve been nationally recognized, which really doesn’t mean that much other than ego.  That has never been part of my being.  I had fun!” And so have we!  Thank you for six decades of terrific memories, Lovable Larry!

Are you running a photography business—or just an expensive hobby? In this episode of Difference Maker Revolution, Jonathan Ronan, Jeanine, and Steve reveal why knowing your numbers isn't optional—it's the lifeline of your business. If you want to take control, make consistent profit, and avoid the financial pitfalls that sink so many photographers, this episode is your wake-up call.

Success often looks like a sudden breakthrough, but most of the time it is the result of years of quiet effort that no one sees. We are quick to call it luck, timing, or talent, because it feels easier than acknowledging the discipline, the repetition, and the long seasons of showing up without guarantees. Yet behind every meaningful achievement is a story of persistence, preparation, and choosing to keep going when progress feels slow. Many people believe talent is the deciding factor. If someone is gifted, success should come naturally. If someone struggles, maybe they are just not built for it. But real life rarely works that way. Skill is built through effort. Progress is earned through consistency. And the ability to sustain success comes from grit, not just natural ability. This episode reflects on a five-year journey from learning how to start a podcast to receiving Super Bowl credentials, and what that path reveals about growth. Drawing from the idea that "effort counts twice," we unpack the difference between talent and skill, why hard work compounds over time, and how showing up, investing in yourself, and surrounding yourself with the right people changes what is possible. If you are building something and wondering if the work is worth it, this conversation is a reminder that grit, not just talent, is what turns potential into real progress. "Without effort, your talent is merely unmet potential. Without effort, your skill is what could be done but has not been done. With effort, your talent becomes skill, and effort makes that skill very productive." – Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction  (00:00:30) Suzette's birthday and Black History Month (00:01:49) From Super Bowl fan to media credentials (00:02:54) Luck vs preparation in success (00:04:00) Grit and why "effort counts twice" (00:05:52) The danger of relying on "gifted" labels (00:06:30) Advertisement: Struggling with your finances as a young physician?

"In the long run, you have to be more than talented to achieve at a high level and sustain that level of achievement." "Talent times effort equals skill, and skill times effort equals achievement." "Skill is developed over countless hours and hours of practicing your craft." "It's not just continuing to show up to do the same thing the same way over and over again. It's continuing to critique yourself. Continue to surround yourself with people that are doing it on a higher level than you are."

In this episode of Gents Talk, supported by BULOVA Canada, chefs Romain Avril, Wallace Wong & Gianlucca Ruggieri deliver a raw and necessary conversation about talent, effort, and the uncomfortable truth about why being “good” is rarely enough.This episode explores what happens when you grow up believing that skill, hard work, or quality alone should guarantee success — and the frustration, self-doubt, and burnout that come when it doesn't. It's not about giving up on excellence; it's about understanding the unseen factors that actually move the needle and reclaiming your sense of agency.

https://teachhoops.com/ Managing a player with "all the tools but no motor" is one of the most frustrating challenges a coach can face, primarily because the gap between their ceiling and their current output is so visible. The key to reaching these athletes is understanding that motivation is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. For some, the lack of effort is a defense mechanism to avoid the pressure of high expectations; for others, they simply haven't connected their individual skills to the team's ultimate success. To bridge this gap, you must move beyond generic "work harder" speeches and find the specific "currency" that motivates them—whether it's increased playing time, a specific role in the offense, or public recognition of their defensive contributions. A powerful strategy for these players is the use of "Micro-Goals" and objective data. Talented but unmotivated players often drift because they find traditional drills "boring" or feel they can "get by" on raw athleticism. By turning practice into a measurable competition, you remove the subjectivity of their effort. If you can show them a stat sheet that reveals they only contested 10% of shots while they were on the floor, it becomes a factual challenge rather than a coach's opinion. Use "Small-Sided Games" where their specific talent is required to win the drill, forcing them to engage or face the social accountability of letting their teammates down. When the data proves they are underperforming, the "talent" excuse starts to disappear. Finally, you must leverage your team's leadership to handle the peer-to-peer accountability. A talented player might tune out a coach, but it is much harder to ignore a teammate who is working twice as hard with half the natural ability. In your January film sessions, highlight the "Blue Collar" plays made by your role players and contrast them with the missed opportunities of the unmotivated talent. This isn't about shaming; it's about illustrating the "Cost of Inaction." If the player still refuses to "buy in," you must be willing to limit their role to protect the integrity of your culture. Ultimately, a less-talented player who is fully committed will always be more valuable to a championship mission than a star who is only playing at 50% capacity.

After 20+ years of coaching salon owners, I can spot the pattern in under 5 minutes. Talented stylist opens dream salon, becomes overwhelmed operator, wonders what went wrong. If you're working harder than ever but not getting ahead, if you're the busiest person in your salon but still stressed about money, you're not alone.In today's episode, I'm revealing the #1 mistake that keeps talented salon owners stuck.

What To Do With a Frustrating Employee In Your Clinic In this episode, Doc Danny breaks down one of the hardest parts of owning a clinic: dealing with a talented but frustrating employee. You know the type. Great with patients, solid outcomes, but sloppy with systems, notes, and follow through. Danny walks through the three real options you have, why "letting it slide" destroys culture, and how to use a performance improvement plan to either turn things around or coach someone out. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The classic pattern of the friendly, high-output clinician who struggles with systems Why tolerating mediocrity from one person lowers the standard for your entire team The three options you have with a frustrating employee (and the one most owners avoid) How to build and run a simple, effective performance improvement plan (PIP) Why leadership and standards matter more than any one hire How "coaching people out" protects your culture and your A-players Questions to ask yourself about your onboarding, training, and systems Claire: Get Your Attention Back on Patients Danny opens with a reminder of how fast documentation can pull your attention away from patients. As PTs, we pride ourselves on building rapport and relationships, but it is hard to do that when you spend half the session staring at a laptop. Claire, the AI scribe built specifically for physical therapists, lets you give patients 100% of your attention while it writes your notes for you. No more "split attention" between EMR and patient Better engagement and outcomes because you are actually present Notes drafted for you based on the session so you can review and finalize Try Claire free for 7 days: https://meetclaire.ai The Talented but Frustrating Employee Danny describes a very familiar pattern in service businesses. You hire someone you like. They are a good culture fit. Patients love them. Outcomes are strong. But behind the scenes, they: Drag their feet on notes and documentation Ignore or half-follow systems and processes Show up a little late, miss small details, or respond slowly to emails and Slack They are not a disaster. They are not a clear liability. But they are not meeting the standard either. That gray area is exactly where most owners get stuck. First, Own Your Part as the Owner Before you blame the employee, Danny challenges you to look in the mirror. Have you: Actually trained them on your EMR, project management tools, and communication systems? Explained why those systems matter (data, tracking, meetings, outcomes, marketing)? Given them clear expectations, examples of "done right," and time to practice? Most owners are busy and rush onboarding. They throw people into the deep end with a few screen-share videos and hope they figure it out. Then they get mad when the systems are not followed. Your Three Options With a Frustrating Employee Once you are honest about your own role, you really have three options: Let it go. Accept that this person is just this way. They are good with patients, weak with systems, and you live with it. Let them go. Fire them for not following processes and creating extra work for others. Create a performance improvement plan. Sit down, define what needs to change, and track progress over a set period. Danny explains why the first option is the most dangerous. When you tolerate one person ignoring standards, everyone else sees it. Your A-players start to wonder why they are working so hard. Support staff quietly resent the extra work. The real standard becomes "we say we care about systems, but we do not enforce them." How to Build a Performance Improvement Plan The go-to approach in Danny's companies is a structured performance improvement plan (PIP). It usually looks like this: Define the specific problems (late notes, missing CRM updates, slow responses, etc.). Clarify why each behavior matters to the business and the team. Decide what is truly necessary for the role and remove anything redundant. Set clear, measurable expectations for the next 4–6 weeks. Meet weekly to review progress, answer questions, and coach them on better workflows. Make it clear this is a non-negotiable standard if they want to keep the role. This is not about punishment. It is about support, clarity, and accountability. The PIP gives the employee a real chance to succeed with your help. What Usually Happens Next Once you run a real PIP, you tend to see one of two outcomes: They turn the corner. With training and clear expectations, they improve their systems work, become more efficient, and turn into a strong long-term hire. They opt out. They resist change, make excuses, and realize this is not a place where they can do whatever they want. They often resign on their own. Either way, you win. You either save a good clinician by giving them structure or you protect your culture by making it clear that standards are real. Leadership, Standards, and A-Players Danny points out that your best people are always watching how you handle situations like this. A-players want: Clear standards and consistency Leaders who follow through, not just talk about culture Teammates who pull their own weight When you avoid hard conversations and let someone slide, your A-players lose respect and start looking elsewhere. When you hold the line, they respect you more and see your clinic as a place worth investing their energy. The Hard Work of Real Leadership Leading people is often the limiting factor in whether a clinic ever scales. It is not manual skills. It is not marketing hacks. It is your willingness to: Have tough, honest conversations Take responsibility for training and support Set standards and enforce them consistently Spend time coaching people, even when you feel "time poor" That work is uncomfortable, but it is the difference between a team that drifts into mediocrity and one that grows with you for years. Want Help Navigating This as a Clinic Owner?
