Nurturing culture in a practice when the seller stays on in the practice they just sold w/ Dr. Mick Kling, OD

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Mick Kling, OD (Mick’s Practice, info on Mick’s Impact Leadership business). Mick joins me on the show today to talk about the balance and “passing of the torch” from the seller to the buyer if the seller decides to stay in the practice and work post-sale and what that means for the culture of the practice. We talk about the idea of high power/low power positions of authority, the difference between direct and indirect communication styles, why it’s likely inevitable that you’ll have turnover in the practice post-close (and why that’s not necessarily a bad thing), and that despite the perceived challenge of maintaining and understanding culture, we know that success isn’t just possible, but probable from one generation of practice owners to the next.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.
