Effective leadership to improve safety and quality is a key skill for a dental practitioner. This book equips all members of the dental team with leadership skills for professional and personal life and will help develop vital competences that will complement clinical skills. Designed to prepare every member of the dental team for the leadership tasks and challenges they will face in general practice, this resource helps the reader to develop skills not explicitly taught in traditional dental education. Topics include: interpersonal and communication skills; personal and professional ethics and behaviour; understanding your role; identifying and focusing on priorities; influence and persuasion; managing change; self-assessment and peer evaluation; team building and dynamics; managing and addressing colleagues' behaviour; time and resource management; people management and disciplinary matters; analysis of patient safety incidents; understanding the legal and financial aspects of your practice.
