Quotes:
“Silos-Mentality is when we are not working as a full team”
“Do you know your doctors vision for the practice you are in?”
“I think sometimes we think these are the fluffy things in business but they are really important”
“When you resist change, it affects the culture, and alignment with the team”
“Your not just the dental assistant, or dental hygienist, you are an integral part of the team”
“If you don’t speak it, it’s never going to be heard”
“When you speak up, you are going to realize you are being heard, and you will be seen in a different light”
“You might not be able to foster that environment on the other end, but you can be open on your end”
“You have to find the culture that you feel safe in and that you can foster and grow and have the courage to speak up to better the team”
