What qualities do you think make a great leader? Does your leadership team exhibit those qualities, or could it be time for an assessment? 

For the third episode of the six-week Accountability Equation™ podcast series, I dive deeper into the second A of the five A's of Accountability: “Assess”. In this episode, I discuss the importance of assessing the leadership team in your group practice. I share the qualities of a great leader and explain the process of assessing your existing leadership team. I also highlight the benefits of self-assessment for leaders, and discuss the challenges and pitfalls of the interview process when looking for your leadership team. Some of the things I cover in this episode are:

• Why self-assessment is beneficial for leaders to reflect on their strengths and areas for improvement.

• The challenges and pitfalls of leadership interviews, such as bias and limited information.

• How to address the problem of limited diversity and inclusion in the interview process.

• How to adequately prepare for leadership interviews, including thorough research on candidates and utilizing structured interview processes.

• How to screen your leadership team for vision alignment, effective communication, decision-making skills, culture building, accountability, strategic thinking, resilience, and adaptability.

The "Assess" phase of The Accountability Equation™ is a critical step in ensuring the right people are in the right roles within your group practice. With the right tools and mindset, this process can be a powerful catalyst for organizational growth and success.
