Managing Dental Drama
When Employees Feel Entitled
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Kuba and Bethany tackle some uncomfortable examples of an employee who felt entitled and was quite verbal with her disappointment over gifts she felt were hers. The examples will definitely make the skin crawl, but these are relatively common examples. It is important to set the stage very clearly with team members regarding bonus plans, which are elective extras for the team. Openly complaining about the rules related to getting a bonus is a clear indication that the team might not be ready for a bonus program. It is also important to clearly set the stage for which gifts delivered to the practice are for the doctor and which are for the team. Dr. Kuba’s example gives listeners an uncomfortable example of what can go wrong when a team member does not clearly know the rules related to gifts.
