Common Hiring Mistakes Chiropractors Make in a Chiropractic Business
Episode 540
Friday, 6 March, 2026
This episode is for chiropractors running a small chiropractic practice who are navigating the leadership side of running a chiropractic business. Whether the help comes in the form of staff, outside services, or professional advisors, chiropractors in small practices inevitably face decisions about who to trust, how much to delegate, and what their role as a leader actually looks like. Many chiropractors enter practice primarily focused on patient care, only to discover that chiropractic practice ownership also requires leadership and decision making around hiring, managing, and working with other people. The confusion often shows up in two extremes: micromanaging everything or stepping so far back that leadership disappears entirely. This episode reframes that tension and offers a clearer way to think about leadership for chiropractors without turning the conversation into rigid management advice. In this conversation, Jerry explores principles such as: Why chiropractors often fall into the opposite traps of micromanagement or no leadership at all How leadership for chiropractors begins with accepting the responsibility of running a chiropractic business Why vetting people carefully matters more than fixing problems after the hire How training and communication shape whether outside services and staff actually represent your practice well Why trust is necessary for progress, but blind trust can create costly blind spots How periodic check-ins maintain alignment without turning into micromanagement The goal of this episode is not to provide a management formula. It is to offer a clearer lens for chiropractor decision making when working with staff, vendors, and service providers. Listen, reflect, and apply the ideas in a way that fits your practice and your leadership style.
