A YouTube video by Gary Kadi (June 22, 2025) addressing the dental hiring crisis by focusing on internal culture. The speaker urges practices to create an impact-driven vision, purpose, and values (co-created with the team) and to use them daily—in morning huddles and monthly meetings—to boost fulfillment and employee engagement, particularly among younger and middle generations.
Chapters
If you don't have a vision, if you don't have a purpose and a value, something that's create and no, it's not a business plan. It's not what you do throughout the day, it's who you are, right? There's a difference between doing and being. So make sure that it's something that is impact driven. It's talking about the experience that you're creating internally for your team, externally for your patients. So if you don't have a vision, a purpose and a values in place, number one is to create one. Have your team create it with you, get their buy in, get their involvement so that they can really feel fulfilled and engaged in that process. And then make sure you're utilizing it regularly. It's not just something that's in calligraphy on your wall. It's not just something that's in the middle or towards the end of your job ad when you're looking to recruit. It's something that's discussed daily in morning huddles. It's discussed in depth in your monthly team meeting. So make sure that it's being utilized regularly in the practice so that your vision, purpose and values is alive and well. That's going to really help with employee engagement, specifically with that younger and middle generation inside of your practice.
