This week on “Discovering DSOs with Ashley McCauley”, Ashley provides somewhat of a recap of previous episodes by taking a deeper look at adaptability and change management.   Episode Highlights:   Some changes that can happen when a DSO comes into a private practice Change and transition The 3 phases of transition   Quotes:   “Implementing a new technology…in my experience, this has been the biggest change for team members when we affiliate.”   “Change is situational, and then there’s transition which is psychological.”   “I think that, oftentimes, organizations overlook the ‘letting go’ process that is part of the transition process, and the feelings of loss that it can generate.”   “There’s going to be a time that you’re not going to be comfortable with the transition…you have to expect it, know it’s coming.”   “As painful as it might be when you’re going through that neutral zone, if you try to escape it too quickly, you might miss out on an opportunity to be creative, and you might miss out on that time to really develop what you need to renew yourself.”   “I would ask a lot of questions…express your concerns…don’t bottle up your emotions…so that they can help you…they’re going to support you through this process.”   “I’m a huge proponent of having a growth mindset.”   Links:   The Dental Podcast Network Channel One homepage: http://dentalpodcastnetworkchannelone.otcpn.libsynpro.com/   The Dental Podcast Network Channel Two homepage: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dental-podcast-networks-channel-two/id1478530429   The Association of Dental Support Organizations homepage:   https://www.theadso.org/
