Managing Your Practice, Leading Your Team

What does it take to run a successful veterinary practice?   There are countless administrative, business operations, and employee-related tasks that need to be accomplished to have a thriving business.  While many of these tasks can be managed, being able to effectively deal with a team of employees requires leadership.  Management and leadership are very different things and learning to do both well will help you to build an incredible, highly engaged team as well as an efficient, healthy business.
