"The staff take pride
in and responsibility
for their jobs; they keep trying to improve their performance and
their
goals."

Building better team relationships
reduces stress
The dental practice team is analogous to a sports team
in many ways. The team performs most effectively when all the players
knows their position, what's expected, what the team's goals and expectations
are, and the team members are well trained and experienced. Steward & Associates'
role is similar to that of a coach and advocate for success.
Working in high performing practices may be hectic and
hard work, but being on a winning team is more satisfying and rewarding.
High performing teams mean less turnover and fewer staff problems. Key
ingredients to creating winning teams include:
-
 Eliminating ambiguity by creating clear and specific position descriptions,
organizational charts, staff manuals.
- Regular huddles and staff meetings that have structured agendas and
goals while still allowing for team feedback and input.
- Training that addresses immediate and long-term staff needs.
- Creating a welcoming and open - yet focused and productive - environment
in which the team can develop and grow.
- Helping the doctor and staff establish and monitor clearly articulated
personal and professional goals.
