Why Management Sucks
Episode 68
Thursday, 27 November, 2025
Send us a textIf your practice keeps losing great people, it’s probably not the pay—it’s your managers.In this Quick Tip episode, we break down why so many managers “suck” in private practice and what to do about it. From promoting your best clinician into a job they were never trained for, to rewarding people who don’t even like managing, we unpack the real reasons leadership fails—and how that failure is costing you talent, culture, and revenue.Using the story of “Ralph,” the star salesperson turned disastrous sales director, Brandon shows why top performers don’t automatically make great managers, and why putting them in leadership without a plan can tank both their performance and your team’s. We share his favorite analogy: great managers are like horror-movie lovers—they’re wired to handle tough conversations, conflict, and constant pressure without running away.You’ll learn how to:Spot the difference between talent in a role and talent for managementAvoid the trap of promoting high performers who don’t actually want to leadFix the #1 reason employees leave: poor management and misaligned prioritiesIdentify the traits of managers who love the hard stuff—conflict, accountability, tough loveDesign hiring, training, and culture so you attract true leaders, not title-chasersIf you’re a practice owner, leader, or aspiring manager, this episode will help you stop “hoping” someone can lead just because they’re good at their job—and start building a management layer that actually drives retention, performance, and practice growth.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!
