Episode notes
Most dental organizations are drowning in dashboards. But data alone doesn’t build high-performing teams. In this episode of Dental Operations Unpacked, Jake Larson and Clint Barry sit down with Ann Alterson , Director at Elite Dental Partners, to talk about what actually drives execution across multi-location dental organizations. Ann shares: Why being a top performer doesn’t automatically make you a great leader How to turn KPIs into real action The 20% effort that creates 80% results Why execution improves when leaders stop fixing and start coaching How to use data without overwhelming your team The power of roleplay and uncomfortable conversations If you're leading offices, regions, or entire DSOs, this conversation will shift how you think about performance, culture, and long-term growth. Strong teams outlast any KPI. #DentalOperations #DSO #DentalLeadership #PracticeManagement #KPIs #Coaching #DentalPodcast
