Should dentists focus on improving weaknesses or building on strengths?
Build on what you already do well. I learned this the hard way. You can nudge a weakness up a little, but you can multiply a strength by many times over. For some people, fixing their worst weakness is practically impossible, so why pour years into making something mediocre slightly less mediocre? It is a terrible trade. I tend to be an information excavator, a presenter, a solutions finder. Those are the lanes where I create real value, so I stay in them. Find your genuine talents, do more of the procedures and work that sit inside them, and hire other people to cover the rest. Think of it like a basketball team. You do not ask your best shooter to also be the best defender. You let each person play their position.
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.
