Hiring and Maintaining a Top-Notch Dental Team
by Wade Uglem (with L. Hurston Anderson, PhD.)
Most of the stress in the life of dentists if not from the clinical side of dentistry but from the managerial side. In particular, personnel management exasperates many dentists. Frankly, it is usually because there is no real system. Written by management professionals who have hired, trained, managed, and terminated (where necessary) hundreds of employees, this is the definitive workbook on personnel management. It includes ads, application forms, ideas for psychological profiling, sample evaluation forms, job descriptions, policy and procedure manuals, etc. This book can be used to establish a personnel protocol which will help to eliminate internal conflict, raise morale, reduce turnover, assist in properly managing salaries, and maintain strong positive dental teams.
