Achieving True Leadership

After reflecting recently on the concept of leadership, Brad has been inspired to talk this week about what it means to be a leader, and how, by focussing on two key areas, you can rapidly mark yourself out as the person who sets the purpose and vision of your business.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   The best way of setting a vision for your business is to create a sense of purpose. Your vision is the solution to a problem. Communication is a vital component in providing true leadership. If messages aren’t being interpreted correctly, look at the systems being used, and think about whether your own style is the cause. Be a facilitator of dreams and aspirations. Figure out what drives people onwards, and what they envision for themselves. Helping them to reach those goals is the hallmark of a true leader.   BEST MOMENTS   ‘A leader is a person who sets the vision’ ‘You market a solution to a problem’ ‘By working for you, they are heading towards some of their own goals and aspirations'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Dental Business Podcast ABOUT THE HOST Brad believes that everyone at any level should be focused on achieving multiple sources of income to create diversity and balance in life. He feels passionate about helping dentists work towards freedom by building wealth in different areas and helping to develop a mindset to improve one’s ability to handle the stresses of clinical life.  Still a practising dentist, Brad has implemented strategies to create a practice to allow him to carry out the dentistry he wants whilst continually expanding with loyal staff and patients. These strategies can be adapted to any dentist, whether you are an associate or the practice owner, to help bring back your passion for dentistry. In addition to running a successful private dental practice, he has grown several other dental businesses and as an investor is growing wealth outside of dentistry to help protect his legacy for his growing family. He is chair of the Horsforth Town Team, dedicated to the promotion and development of business in his local area in North Leeds, UK. Due to his track record and down to earth advice, he has become sought after as a mentor and spends part of his time dedicated to mentoring dental professionals about business, mindset and personal development.   CONTACT METHOD Brad Thornton Instagram Brad Thornton LinkedIn Brad Thornton Facebook [email protected]
