Healthy practices invest in building effective teams. Ed Blach, DVM, shares five basic principles to use when building teams. They include:
- Define your objectives.
- Get the right people in the right positions.
- Assign leadership for each task or project
- Define and communicate your culture and leadership style.
- Develop an efficient reporting and mentoring structure.
