Dental business consultant announces leadership course in July

Published 22nd March 2017 by admin.

Dental business mentor, Andy McDougall from Spot On Business Planning has announced the dates and details of his next course on leadership at the BDA headquarters in London.

The course, ‘Leading the dental team’ will take place on Friday July 7 and is ideal for dental practice owners and dental practice managers. Attendees will be able to gain 6 3/4 hours of verifiable CPD from this one-day course that costs DCPs £95, BDA members £150 and non-members £195.

“Great facilitator, interesting content, everything relevant to driving the dental team. Enjoyed live examples of experiences from speaker.” (A delegate from one of Andy McDougall’s previous BDA leadership courses provided this quote.)

As the head of your dental business there is an expectation that you will lead your team to success. Learn how to determine your strategy, goals and objectives and drive the performance of your dental business and your team.

As the pressure grows for businesses to increase their profitability year on year, dental business owners must determine the appropriate strategy and lead their teams to achieve it.

Andy McDougall said: “The success or failure of your leadership skills will become clearly visible in your results. The only way to achieve your strategic goals is to harness the whole team in pursuit of your vision. A culture that fails to galvanise the entire team risks a radically negative impact on results.”

Learning objectives

Understand the different leadership styles and become aware of your own
Have a thorough grounding in the principles of leadership
Understand the difference between leadership and management
Be aware of what followers expect from leaders
Understand culture and how to unlock a high performing team

To run your dental business differently you have to run your brain differently – and as a respected dental business mentor Andy will use his vast knowledge and skill set to help you become the power-force at the helm. With this newfound knowledge, you will have the passion and drive to overcome any inevitable obstacles by taking action, making decisions and being the agent for change.

CPD

This training course meets the educational criteria set by the GDC for 6 3/4 hours of verifiable CPD and is certified by the British Dental Association.
