In this episode, Richard sits down with speaker, author, and former physical therapist, Amy Lafko. Diving into the diverse topic that is "What is a people-first approach?" Find Amy's book "People First" here
What is a People First approach?A People First approach is a mindset/philosophy of leadership and not a series of tactics.What are the foundational building blocks/attributes of a People First Approach?Until recently there has been a focus on Patient First. How is this different?How have changes within the structure of healthcare employment and delivery over the last 10 years forced managers/owners to rethink how we lead people?Are generational differences impacting the way we need to lead and manage?How did Covid impact the way we should lead/manage?What practical steps can private practice owners take immediately to start along the path of a People First approach?What are the consequences of not changing to an employee-first mindset? How have we seen this?
As a Physical Therapist, Amy spent years in school learning best practices for patient care and how to put the patient first. Like so many technically skilled clinicians, she advanced to a leadership role. Spending 20+ years in operational leadership, she had an epiphany: Putting the customer first isn’t the path to success or fulfillment. Rather, the most successful organizations and practices put their people first – and exceptional customer care, profitability, and effectiveness naturally followed.To learn more about us, visit our website at https://www.allianceptp.com/
