This week on the Uncharted Veterinary Podcast, Stephanie Goss and her special guest co-host, Maria Pirita, CVPM dive into a discussion about how to navigate the tricky waters when you go from being friends and a part of the team to being their boss. In this case, the new practice manager is facing an even more uphill battle because they aren't quite sure that the practice owner has their back. The team sides with decisions the old practice manager would have made and if the practice owner doesn't wade in, this manager is left feeling like they have no friends AND no one respects them. Good thing Stephanie and Maria aren't afraid of swimming through the uncharted waters. Let's get into this.

Managing the business. Moderating conflict within the team. Fixing broken printers, again. You wear more hats than anyone else in the practice. All of these look great on you, of course. That doesn’t mean the challenges of leadership don’t phase you. Managing people effectively in a field that is tied tightly to emotions and high-speed decision-making is a constant learning experience. You need tools and strategies to take the reins and guide your team through it all…and support for you too. It’s time to connect with your fellow practice managers to share what gets you excited about your role, find solutions for what needs your focus now, and discover new ways to shine even brighter as a manager. Come join us for this one day, virtual summit! A community awaits you.
