Leadership in Practice

3 points to see how you're driving

Gary Hughes Season 1 Episode 11

Every manager or leader needs a way of knowing how their practice is doing. Is everything going well or are there problems ahead? Without this it’s like driving blindfold. 

You need a system and a set of measures that monitors, measure and tracks the most important areas of the business and practice. Whether you call them key performance indicators, metrics or your dashboard, for managers and leaders in practice, it’s an important, if not the most important, tool. 

It’s how you know if you’re on target to achieve your goals or if changes are needed. It provides essential information for your biggest decisions, and it can tell you where the problems are before they really hit. 

Maybe you’re not doing this because you don’t know what to monitor, or you believe that everything is fine, but if you can’t see you don’t know what’s happening. 

In this episode I share how you can put your own system of measures in place and how you can use them to help you manage and lead your practice.
