844. Three Rules for Better Leadership

In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares a framework from Coach Lou Holtz that applies perfectly to dentistry and leadership: do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care. These three ideas offer a practical guide for how to lead patients, teams, and yourself each day. In dentistry, doing the right thing builds trust, doing your best drives steady improvement, and showing people you care creates lasting relationships. While simple, these habits shape culture more than any mission statement or policy ever could. Strong leadership does not have to be complicated. Often, the best principles are the ones simple enough to live out every day.
