Why You’re Still Not Getting the Results You Want — And What to Do About It
Let’s get straight to the point.
If you're not getting the results you expected—whether it’s in your clinic’s patient visits, staff performance, or bottom-line numbers—there are only two reasons why:
👉 They don’t know how.
👉 They’re not taking personal responsibility.
Read that again.
As a seasoned operations and performance specialist, I’ve seen practices spin their wheels, burn out teams, and lose money—all because they’re chasing results without auditing the process.
Let’s break this down like a pro.
When you’re laser-focused on results (as you should be), but nothing’s changing... you’re likely skipping two critical precursors:
1. Know-How: Do They Actually Know What They're Doing?
You’d be shocked how often this is missed.
Just because someone is present doesn’t mean they’re prepared.
Before you demand performance, ask yourself:
Were they fully trained from start to finish?
Do they understand the why behind their actions?
Can they articulate what actually leads to the result you want?
For example:
If your front desk isn’t hitting the mark with increasing patient visits...
👉 Do they know that missed appointments, recalls, and reactivations directly impact this number?
👉 Have they been trained beyond the basics?
PRO TIP: Create a Competency Checklist during onboarding. Don’t assume knowledge—verify it.
2. Personal Responsibility: Are They Owning Their Role?
Here’s the second punch in the gut:
You can hand someone a Ferrari, but if they won’t drive it, it’s just a parked dream.
If you hear things like:
“Oh, I thought they were handling that…”
“Nobody told me I was supposed to do that…”
You’re dealing with a responsibility gap, not a skills gap.
Ownership is everything.
People must be empowered and expected to take full responsibility for their outcomes. Otherwise, you’ll forever be managing a team of task-doers, not result-getters.
Your Prescription for Real Results
Want to stop guessing and start achieving? Here's your high-impact checklist:
✅ Audit the Know-How
Do you have a step-by-step training process?
Is there a checklist of core competencies?
Can each team member confidently say they know what creates the desired outcome?
✅ Reinforce Responsibility
Have you clearly assigned ownership of tasks?
Is each team member held accountable for their slice of the result?
Do you create a culture where “I didn’t know” is not an excuse?
✅ Train, Test, Tweak
Revisit training regularly.
Apprentice your team.
Close the feedback loop with real-time coaching.
Final Words from a Pro
You don’t rise to the level of your goals—you fall to the level of your systems.
And without know-how and responsibility, even the best system will fail.
So if results are lagging, stop blaming the numbers—and start inspecting the process.
✅ Build the know-how.
✅ Demand personal responsibility.
✅ Then watch the results soar.
See you at the top—and don’t forget to be a blessing.
