Leadership is not about abandoning your team. It is about building capacity, clarity, and accountability. When you step in too quickly, you may unintentionally take away opportunities for others to learn, stretch, and succeed.

As a group practice owner, you are not just a clinician anymore. You are a business owner. That means the way you operate must be sustainable, boundaried, and legally sound.

You write contracts not only to protect your practice, but to clarify expectations and uphold your role as a business leader. And if your contractor agreement states that clinicians are only paid for sessions the clinic gets paid for—then that’s the agreement. Full stop.
