56. 3 Reasons Your Team Sucks (and it's not what you think)

In Episode 56, Gerda tackles one of the most common and probably most frustrating challenges in allied health private practice being: when it feels like your team sucks!

With her trademark honesty (and a little humour), Gerda unpacks why nine times out of ten it’s not your people who are the problem - it’s the way they’re being managed and led. 

This episode is an important invitation to look in the mirror, take ownership, and fix the real cause of underperformance,  so you can build a team that’s aligned, accountable, and genuinely enjoyable to lead.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

• Why “my team sucks” is usually a leadership and management problem (not a team problem).
• The three core reasons good people underperform.
• How to create simple, practical systems that set your team up to succeed.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Practice owners who feel frustrated, disappointed, or stuck with a team that isn’t performing.
• Leaders who want to improve culture, accountability, and outcomes without becoming a micromanager.
• Anyone who wants a team that helps the business run smoothly rather than creating more work and stress.

Tune in for a practical, no-fluff conversation that will help you strengthen your leadership, lift performance, and build a practice you can’t stop smiling about.
