    Contains 2 Component(s)

    This week’s Power Bite introduces the “one-thing improvement mindset”—a simple but powerful approach to leadership and team growth. Instead of trying to fix everything at once, it encourages practice leaders to ask their team a focused question: “What’s one thing we can improve this week?” By identifying just one small, actionable change and testing it over five days, teams can build momentum, create shared wins, and foster a culture of continuous improvement without feeling overwhelmed.

    In this Power Bite, we explore how small, consistent actions can lead to big shifts in your practice culture.

By identifying a single improvement, assigning accountability, and testing it over five days, you create space for progress and build team confidence. It’s a leadership strategy that’s easy to implement and incredibly effective. Download the companion PowerSheet to guide the process with your team and spark meaningful, bite-sized change.
