title: The dentist as a leader.
abstract: Leadership is one of the more difficult business skills to develop. Any dentist can be a better leader and should view this as an essential aspect of his or her own personal business development. Dental practices today are more dependent on staff than ever before, and it is well-known that the number of well-trained staff looking for positions has diminished. To overcome this challenge, we have to increase the skill set, knowledge and commitment of our teams. To do this, dentists will need to be better leaders and continually work to improve these same skills in themselves.
