The Clinic Mastery Team

Avoiding tough conversations to keep the peace in your clinic?

We’re joined by Andrew Daubney, who expands on his CM Summit talk, “Building Your Leadership Team,” to unpack why great leaders choose clarity and avoid a comfort culture. We dive into the shift from seeing leadership as a reward to embracing it as a responsibility - one that demands accountability, honest conversations, and upholding standards even when it’s uncomfortable. Andrew breaks down how to build a leadership team with intent (not hope), identify and develop the right people early, and create clear expectations that actually drive performance. We also explore the three pillars of effective leadership - upholding standards, maintaining psychological safety, and acting early - plus how to create a culture where trust, ownership, and growth can thrive.

If you want to step up as a leader, build a stronger team, and stop avoiding the conversations that matter, this episode gives you the framework to lead with clarity and confidence.
