Episode notes
Steven Won A Hot Wing Challenge In Dental School
- Steven Van de Graaff once ate an extremely spicy wing challenge while classmates struggled with a dab on their tongue.
- Derek says Steven sweated through it and the memory made them consider hot sauce as an adrenaline booster.
Make Team Mindset Match Your Daily Goal
- Share your daily production mindset with the whole team so everyone actively pursues the day's goal.
- Train or replace weak links and align staff vision to avoid repeatedly pushing them to do basic tasks like offering fluoride or explaining treatment.
Use Bonus Systems To Motivate Staff
- Implement a bonus system that gives staff monetary skin in the game to motivate extra effort like working through lunch.
- Use tiered bonuses and public praise so the team pushes to get more patients in rather than resisting.
