E-mail message this week: Accountability Have you ever attended a weekend seminar and left enthusiastic, energetic and ready to pull out all the stops only to find that after a day or two the flame was extinguished from the fire in your belly? How much money have you spent in post graduate seminars, consultants, audio, DVD and video tapes only to find that you were unable to transfer your surge of knowledge to your staff and patients? Have you left with a handful of notes, the latest scripts and handouts, books and stuff from the team speakers, whispered new ideas heard in the hallways and a renewed purpose only to find that insurance companies, patient notes, staff crisis's, office tone and restrictions still remain and nothing has changed? Have I hit you where it hurts or have you found nirvana called peace and serenity affording you a stress free practice? There is a solution to practice blues and reaping the harvest from your time and financial investments in courses. The answer is accountability. Think about it, if it weren't for grades would you have studied as intensely when you were in school? If it weren't for traffic tickets would you have passed through the red light at 3 am? If for no other reason than respect do you not listen to your elders? There is an accounting for our actions and if it is something we fear such as failure, remorse, embarrassment we'll always try harder to achieve and accomplish rather than flounder and fail. Doctor, who are you accountable to? Naturally your first reaction may be to your patients, family, the creator and you. I understand that it is a given but who are you reporting to and dependent upon to see that each idea is being implemented and is followed through to completion. If some of my e- mail messages reach you more than others, do you copy it and has your staff read them as well? Furthermore does it open up a discussion with action steps delegated? When returning from a seminar whether technical, practice management or esoteric, do you spend the time with a scheduled staff meeting or better yet does your staff attend along with you? Do you place timelines towards creative implementation of some of the new or renewed ideas? One way to assure accountability is to find a few other doctors attending the seminar and before leaving discuss what ideas clicked and how each will put it into practice, this includes staff. Prior to leaving set a time for either conference calls, e-mail chat rooms or snail mail weekly reports of these ideas and how each office has progressed. Were flyers or surveys created or have specific scripts been written. What worked and what didn't, this is shared as well. Talk about accountability, this offers you instant feedback for subtle or drastic changes of your efforts and assure that you are still working on the project meeting to meeting and in tandem. Working as a team assures accountability and success. If you have like minded doctors in your local or city area have monthly meetings, not with a competitive level of suspicion but a means to share creative ideas for universal patient acquisition, technical feedback, motivational uplifting and special group patient events that will stimulate each office creating community awareness. As a team the staffs work in tandem and is accountable to the other assuring implementation, cross training and results. Have a Great Day Dr. M PS ..
