Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp, brave, courageous and bold. Long live his fame and long live his glory and long may his story be told. From TV Series Wyatt Earp (1955-1961)
It has long been my contention that the best way to manage is: hire the right people and let them do their jobs. Of course, this begs the question, “How do you know if you’re hiring the right people?”
In summary:
• Have concrete core values and mission statement that you can use to determine what candidates would be the best fit for your practice.
• Use these to develop questions that will measure the metrics that match your practice’s needs.
• Once hired, let them do their jobs and you work to develop them; helping them to reach their potential.
• If they are not working out, determine if they can be developed. If not, don’t delay separation.
