In this episode, Dr Sachin Patel and Dr Todd Cameron unpack why teams fail to meet expectations, how leadership missteps fuel the chaos, and what Clinic Owners can do to create a culture of clarity, accountability, and calm.

From the hidden cost of tolerating “good enough,” to the crucial difference between collaboration and consensus, this conversation shines a light on the systems and leadership practices that either hold clinics back or propel them forward. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to reset standards, delegate effectively, and build the kind of high-performance team that gives you back time, energy, and peace of mind.

If you’re a Clinic Owner who feels trapped in chaos or frustrated by underperforming teams, this episode will give you the clarity, tools, and confidence to lead differently, and scale faster, smarter, and with far less stress.
