Here is a good description of management that as a dental practice you should be aware of:

From Wikipedia:

"Management involves the manipulation of the human capital of an enterprise to contribute to the success of the enterprise. This implies effective communication: an enterprise environment (as opposed to a physical or mechanical mechanism), implies human motivation and implies some sort of successful progress or system outcome. As such, management is not the manipulation of a mechanism (machine or automated program), not the herding of animals, and can occur in both a legal as well as illegal enterprise or environment. Based on this, management must have humans, communication, and a positive enterprise endeavor. Plans, measurements, motivational psychological tools, goals, and economic measures (profit, etc.) may or may not be necessary components for there to be management. At first, one views management functionally, such as measuring quantity, adjusting plans, meeting goals. This applies even in situations where planning does not take place." [READ MORE]

Tools for a Successful Practice

When people think of tools at a dentist practice, they think of dentist drills, picks and of course toothbrushes, but the tools that are the most powerful are the intangible ones.  Like software for your practice, or training and skills of your employees.  

So as you see, there is a lot to running a dental practice.   You want to mix your people skills with your business skills.  That's what separates a struggling dental practice from a successful dental practice.
