New chiropractic project E-mail message this week .. check and balances A democracy is based on structure with some give and take. The matrix that creates this blend will bloom to productive fruition with accountability with an immediate response .. check and balances. Although a practice is dictatorial in nature .. itžs this way or the doorway .. the best of them has built in give and take with accountability between the doctor .. staff .. patients .. community. If your unachieved New Yearžs resolutions have long passed and your goals usually are another bag of ideas that never pan out it may be time for some check and balances. The steps for success begins with planning. Who is responsible for the idea and what do they need to make it happen. Can they write a strategic plan with action steps and most important delegate a chain of command with a timeline for completion .. in other words .. will there be accountability with a wee voice that tweaks the idea along. Is there a need for a budget .. written material .. promotional time and will someone be checking that it is done and balance any problems prior to it being just another lost thought. An active practice is similar to a living organism. Our body has built in check and balances. With no interference it will detect and correct any chemical and physical imbalance necessary to sustain itself in life. A practice is a business with a built in ebb and flow which like a flowing river can be diverted by nature and the issues of the day. To achieve the best end result they must both react and act on any immediate needs and fine tune or review the issues at hand. Whether you are a high roller or a Mom and Pop operation .. your office success and more importantly your level of stress or fun while working is dependent on check and balances. So what can we do to create this yin and yang .. check and balance. First .. decide if you want change .. if it ainžt broke leave it alone! If change is in order then decide where it has to be. Write a specific wish list with what has to be done to make it happen. If you need advice just ask someone .. if you have no one to ask then start with me and wežll go from there. Next write your plan .. have a check off list so you donžt miss a step. Follow this by delegating a chain of command with responsibility and accountability for achievement. Nothing is more powerful than positive collective energy and conversely nothing more destructive than a bit of negativity mixed in .. root it out!!! The next step is a staff meeting with an open discussion concerning the changes and goals .. sense the energy from everyone .. who can bring their talents to the table and do they truly understand the purpose of these new or renewed goals. Conclude by developing a sense of achievement by small action steps .. draw a picture of a ladder with each rung going towards the top of success. Check the rung off as you make the climb .. if you stall at a plateau .. fix it quick. Whether you work alone or have multiple staff and clinics the concept remains the same .. build in accountability .. expect responsibility .. fine tune the changes. Check and Balance.
