Four Leadership Books That Actually Change Teams (Episode 37)

Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...) Ever feel like your clinic is working hard but not quite working together? We dig into four leadership books that cut through the noise and give you practical frameworks for trust, culture, feedback, and recognition—tools you can use the same day you hear them. We start with Patrick Lencioni’s The Advantage and its backbone, the Five Dysfunctions model. You’ll hear how trust enables productive conflict, how real debate leads to commitment, why peer accountability beats top-down policing, and how a focus on results keeps the team aligned. From hiring to meetings to strategy, we share how iCare leaders can translate these ideas into cleaner workflows and clearer goals. Then we hop on Jon Gordon’s The Energy Bus to talk culture, ownership, and direction. Leaders set the destination and decide who’s on the bus. We call out “energy vampires,” share ways to protect momentum, and explain how positivity paired with metrics powers patient flow, documentation, and staff morale. From there, we tackle tough conversations with Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication, turning daily friction into calm, specific feedback that actually lands—observation, impact, need, and a clear request. Finally, we bring it home with The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace by Gary Chapman. Recognition is a retention strategy, not a perk. We break down words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, tangible gifts, and appropriate physical touch (think handshakes and high fives), with tips to match each to your team’s preferences while keeping boundaries and compliance in view. If you’re leading an ophthalmology or optometry team and want a stronger culture, smoother communication, and better results, this conversation is your playbook. Subscribe, share with a fellow leader, and leave a quick review to tell us which idea you’ll try first. === This episode is brought to you by Seasoned Advice HR, where I help eye care clinics to hire, retain, and manage better — helping you get Better Results Through People.
