be clean , uncluttered , efficient and growing . A declining revenue is a difficult position of negotiation for any seller . Proper management and leadership can position a practice owner to a place of strength in negotiating and recruiting the best young doctors to their practice .
LEAD TO SUCCESS
The rapidly changing profession of dentistry requires technical excellence , management and leadership skills to navigate patient needs and a competitive business climate . As dentists engineer their own day to apply principles that are responsive to the metrics of the practice , a predictable level of success for the practice of dentistry is high . Starting with the end in mind when evaluating patient treatment options and outcomes is likely part of your daily routine . That principle applies to leading a dental practice and engineering your success for your best transition outcome as well .
