What if I told you your team is capable of solving your biggest practice problems—but you’ve never trained them to think that way?

In this 5 Minute Friday, I’m diving into a leadership shift that changed everything for my practice. After facing major team turnover, I had to rebuild—and I realized I’d spent years teaching people what to do, but not how to think. So I re-engaged with EOS tools, revisited how I run meetings, and started asking my team better questions. What happened next blew me away.
This episode isn’t about policies or procedures. It’s about mindset. I’ll walk you through how I restructured meetings, challenged my team with real “boulders” to move, and helped them unlock a level of creativity and problem-solving I didn’t know they had. If you’re still running the show solo or spoon-feeding solutions, this episode will challenge you to think differently—and help your team rise to their full potential.
