Leading for Success: Practical Strategies to Build Stronger Teams in Independent Optometry

Описание: Strong teams don't just happen by accident. They're built through better leadership, a strong team culture, and systems that help your practice grow without burning you out.

In this episode, Michael Nasser is joined by Dr Steve Vargo, optometrist, practice management consultant, author, and host of the Eye Own a Business podcast, to unpack one of the biggest (and most challenging) issues facing independent practices today: leadership and team management.

From understanding the difference between leadership and management, to hiring the right practice manager, reducing staff turnover, and building a culture people actually want to be part of, this conversation goes beyond theory and dives into what truly works inside real practices.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed managing staff, unsure how to delegate, or frustrated by a lack of growth despite working harder than ever, this episode is for you.
