Episode 132: From Therapist to Boss: Leadership Roles in Group Practice [featuring Lindsay Keisman]

In this episode, Patrick Casale talks with Lindsay Keisman about the intricacies of transitioning from a thriving therapist to an equally triumphant business owner. Key takeaways: Leadership Transition - Navigating the transition from individual contributor to effective leader means understanding that it’s not an overnight change. This requires intentional development, clear communication, and alignment with the responsibilities of the new role. Mentorship is Vital - New leaders need more than just how-to books on business ownership to thrive; dedicated mentorship time and real-life guidance from those above them are instrumental in shaping a leader's ability to navigate complex business environments. Importance of HR and Leadership Knowledge - Understanding HR practices and leadership dynamics isn't just helpful; it's crucial in setting up a resilient culture and fostering a safe and structured work environment in group practices. If you are in a leadership role in group practice, developing a good business sense and being a strategic and proactive leader is vital to business success and developing solid relationships with employees built on supportive guidance and mutual respect. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 🎙️Listen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast 🎙️Spotify 🎙️Apple 🎙️YouTube Music ▶️ YouTube ✈️ Learn about Retreats 🗨️ Join the free Empowered Escape FB Community 🗨️ Join the free All Things Private Practice FB Community ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Thanks to Our Sponsors: The Receptionist for iPad & Freed ✨ The Receptionist for iPad: I want to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode.
