126: From The Vault: The Cliff Notes on Being a Great Leader

This is a replay of one of our most downloaded episodes. If you’re newer here, this one’s a must-listen.

This hour-long episode is exactly what the title promises—Jason’s no-fluff guide to the actual habits, mindsets, and behaviors that define great leadership in a dental practice. Pulled straight from his coaching work and years in the trenches, this isn’t about lofty ideas. It’s about clarity, consistency, and courage.

He covers:

  • Why most “leadership problems” are actually clarity problems

  • How to stop being the hero and start building real accountability

  • The danger of trying to be liked instead of respected

  • How to use the “5C’s” and servant leadership in real-world situations

Packed with real stories and hard-won lessons, this episode is a roadmap for docs who want to lead without burning out—or bailing out.

Whether you’re new to leadership or just tired of feeling stuck, this one’s worth every minute.
