Rethinking Leadership Priorities
Most businesses struggle with misaligned priorities, often focusing excessively on profit over purpose. This leads to an environment where practice owners become overwhelmed, feeling like single points of failure, resulting in chaos and poor financial health. A reorientation towards a higher purpose and vision not only alleviates stress but also fosters an atmosphere where profit serves a larger ideal. By prioritizing purpose above all, businesses can create more effective work environments that are emotionally satisfying and sustainable.
