Turn your morning huddle into a leadership tool
A morning huddle should be more than a quick review of the day's schedule. Structured well, it becomes one of the most powerful leadership and communication tools in a dental practice.
The Leadership Huddle shows dental teams how to transform a routine daily meeting into a focused system for communication, accountability, patient care, and practice performance. Participants learn to build a consistent huddle structure that keeps the whole team aligned on the day's priorities, catches opportunities before they're missed, and turns key performance indicators into information the team can actually use.
Drawing on more than 30 years in clinical care, practice management, education, and leadership, Lori Gross delivers a practical approach practices can put to work immediately. The course connects people, systems, communication, and measurable performance so the huddle becomes an intentional part of how the practice runs — not just another meeting.
Participants leave with a clear understanding of how a well-led huddle strengthens communication, improves accountability, uncovers patient-care and treatment opportunities, and helps the entire team start each day with focus and purpose.
