As founders, many of us build our businesses around the skills we know best\u2014whether that\u2019s clinical excellence or coaching expertise. But the transition from hands-on provider to visionary CEO requires a completely different leadership skill set. In this conversation, we unpack common mistakes that can slow growth, like overpaying for experienced hires before your business is ready, or promoting a team member into leadership without the training and support they need to succeed. Instead, you\u2019ll learn how to identify, develop, and support a Practice Leader\u2014a role designed to bridge the gap between the front desk and operations management while strengthening the leadership structure of your practice. We also cover the core leadership capabilities that make someone effective in this role, including communication, influence, accountability, and team leadership, along with how to set clear career pathways, identify skill gaps, and recognize early red flags when evaluating potential leaders. If you\u2019re building or restructuring your leadership team, this replay is packed with insights to help you make smarter promotion decisions, avoid costly leadership missteps, and create the structure needed to support long-term growth.
