390 - Expanding and Employing the Right Podiatrists with Dr Patrick McEneaney

This week, I'm joined again by Dr Patrick McEneaney, DPM from Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists. Patrick shares how he's grown to 16 clinics by hiring intentionally, tracking the right metrics, and knowing when to consolidate. We talk about the lessons of leadership, the art of delegation, and why cultural alignment is the real key to long-term success. Five Big Takeaways Numbers tell the truth. Always track performance and retention. Hire for attitude, not just skill. You can train techniques, not culture. Growth requires letting go of ego. Make decisions based on data. Consolidation isn't failure; it's refinement. Smart leadership builds scalability, not stress.
