In this episode, Dr. Killeen dives into the challenges of managing a new team after purchasing a dental practice. While you're hopeful for a smooth transition, reality often looks different. He explains why inherited teams often don’t last past the first year and how cognitive dissonance—caused by new systems and leadership—can create resistance and turnover. Dr. Killeen shares three practical steps to ease the transition: communicate your vision, acknowledge the shift, and lead by example with consistency. It’s about turning the team into partners, not just employees, in building a better practice.
