What You Will Learn
In Jim Collins' book, From Good to Great, Kathy quotes:
"To become a great company you first must get the right people on your bus and secondly you must get those people on the right seats."
She shows you how proper procedures and documentation cannot only become the lifeblood of your practice, it's essential to helping your employees figure out what to do with their job, and how to do it.
The key that Kathy focuses on is your job descriptions, because they can't find out what to do unless you tell them. Simple, yet do you do this for your practice? And can you improve?
