Looking Under the Hood of a Modern Dental LabOctober 26, 2020 by Dana J. Murn, CAEby Leon Hermanides, CDTAs the owner or manager of a successful dental laboratory, you'll need artistic skill, curiosity, creativity, and drive. But you'll also need an entrepreneurial spirit and attention to these four concepts: 1. Every business needs a leader: It is imperative that you have a purpose-driven leadership style in order to lead from a position of strength. 2. Build your brand: Without a recognizable brand, no one will know who you are. Dedicate proper time and attention to branding your lab and communicating your brand in simple ways, consistently. 3. Foster a team atmosphere: Every employee needs to be engaged through autonomy, mastery, and purpose. 4. Use metrics: Don't shoot in the dark--look at your marketing system using the CPR model.
