The influence you have on others is built in your character. You’ve heard the saying, people don’t hear the words you say near as much as they see what you do.
Why is it that some doctors seem to have a successful practice and have an army of patients who follow them when another doctor can’t seem to get one patient?
It’s because one has more influence than another. When you earn people’s trust, you earn their confidence, which is key to influence. Every successful office has a successful system in place. Solid office systems along with good character and integrity further add to your influence on others and your success.
AMC has a solid system from the front desk to the doctor’s procedures that are simple and straight forward. Today, you not only need to exemplify solid character and integrity, you also need to have a solid system in place you can repeat.
Rightly so, today, with most people, you must prove your trustworthiness, which makes your integrity and character so important. Trust comes from others when you exemplify solid character. When your procedures don’t match with your integrity, people see right through you so make sure your practice management matches your philosophy.
Your title is not enough to make you a person of high influence. It’s who you are that determines your influence. If you want to work on something beyond yourself-work on you and your word and get a practice management system that matches your philosophy.
