How to Move Your Practice Forward as a Powerhouse
In a medical practice there are many functions, many tasks and lots of moving parts.
As an Achiever Boss you want to get the job done and want the job done right. You are always on the move, you have high energy and you are results-oriented.
You are comfortable speaking your mind and juggling many responsibilities at the same time - that’s why you are in the position that you are in today as it takes a lot of discipline and self-motivation.
When working with consultants and contractors, this leadership style works very well as you know what you want to do and you are clear on expressing what outcome you desire.
Working directly with a team is different and with all of your strengths, you need to ensure that you don’t hinder the progress of an inspiring team culture by being overpowering or short-sighted.
Why Nurturing Your Team Culture is Paramount to Your Practice Moving Forward
To quote Aristotle, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”, means that together you can achieve much more and move forward much faster.
A team needs to be cohesive and feel inspired and motivated daily to achieve their best, which in turn will help your practice be the best and that means growth.
But how do you help your team, when you are coming from a place of being naturally self-motivated and driven?
A Code of Conduct can be your best tool in creating a good team culture.
What is a Code of Conduct and Why do You Need One?
When you hear of a Code of Conduct, you will almost certainly think of a set of rules that apply to the employees of a business that outline the correct behaviour.
These days, in times of rapid change, it’s a policy which of course stipulates the rules but also values and ethical principles or standards that are required to be observed by your practice’s employees. It is an essential tool that provides your employees with clear directions as well as setting out expectations of how they should do their job within the organisation.
When a Code of Conduct is prepared purposefully and is implanted intentionally, it can create an atmosphere of contentment and harmony within an organisation.
That is where organisations need to be forward-thinking in terms of implementation of their Codes of Conduct. Adopting a forward-thinking, values-based approach to compliance creates an environment and ultimately a culture, in which employees feel respected and recognised, making them more likely to treat the company with respect and comply with rules and regulations, therefore, creating a more positive and inclusive culture.
If the people in your practice feel valued, respected, and motivated, then as an Achiever Boss you can successfully move your practice forward.
