Leadership Skills for Dental Professionals - by Raman Bedi & Andrew Munro & Mark Keane (Paperback)

About the Book

"This book is a guide for all dental professionals to get off to a good start. Bad habits will constrain our success, our personal effectiveness, as well as our relationships with others. Bad habits can trigger dysfunctional behaviour with the potential to derail us. Good habits, built at an early stage in our careers, not only make us better leaders within our practices, for patients and work colleagues and in the wider community, they help make us more efficient. In life there is an easy way and a hard way. Good habits make leadership life a simpler and more enjoyable experience"--
