What a year it’s been so far!
Unprecedented change in our personal & professional lives, a rapidly evolving landscape with extraordinary logistical and Human Resource pressures.
AND…. evidently, it’s taking its toll.
Through Lincoln’s numerous leadership training activities, we are speaking with dozens of veterinary staff on a daily basis, right across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.
We are hearing the same feedback over & over. And it goes like this….
“We’re busy. Really busy!”
For many, more so than ever before.
“We’re frequently under-staffed and that’s stretching the team to and beyond their limit.”
Vets in particular are feeling the overwhelm. Put simply,
There are not enough hours in the day to meet our commitments and do the job to our satisfaction. The whole team are really tired.
Cracks are starting to appear. Despite the best efforts in top performing vet clinics… Balls are being dropped and that’s got the potential to impact negatively on the animal owners customer service experience.
To make matters worse, COVID restrictions are raising the stakes…
The general public are less forgiving. In many cases, they are downright angry and they’re taking out their frustration on our people. Not fair… but it’s happening.
I’m sure you have seen those crazy videos across the social media?
Conflict is not limited to the general public. In many cases, our teams are starting to struggle too.
Tiredness and stress are amplifying the personality clashes and differences of opinion that are inherent in many organisations.
Is this resonating?
If so, please don’t follow the vast majority and bury your head in the sand hoping that things will get better.
Take positive action because left unchecked, things will head on a downward spiral – sadly we see this happen.
As a first step, we want to give you some immediate strategies that will help you gain control.
Join us over the coming weeks for a series of 3 complimentary on-line live training events dedicated specifically to help you deal with these specific challenges.
Over the coming weeks, we’re going to focus on YOU and YOUR PEOPLE.
This complimentary training will give you some essential principles of Lincoln’s personal & organisational leadership to make your path forward a place of thriving, not just surviving.
