Why is hiring people who excel where you don’t more useful than trying to fix your own weaknesses?
Because the return on improving a natural weakness is bounded, while the return on hiring around it is unbounded. A doctor who is naturally an information excavator and is weak at quick action will not become a quick-action person through self-help. They can compress the gap somewhat. They cannot close it. A team member whose natural operating style is quick action closes it instantly and contributes their strength to the practice. The Kolbe A operational test is a useful tool here because it maps how people actually approach tasks, not personality in the abstract. Map the doctor first, then build a complementary team around them. Capture the profile of any team member who shines so you can replace them with a similar profile when needed. The goal is not a uniform team. The goal is a complementary one where each role is filled by someone whose natural style fits the work.
If the answers you are finding here resonate with you, my team and I work with a small group of clients each year. The next step is a complimentary Discovery Consultation and Practice Review with Dr. McAnally.
