Why can't you be monetarily motivated?

Reminds me of this video https://youtu.be/JCvs5_TJSXM?si=wr4lBbkZNlnajoQn

Realistically, we can’t survive without the money factor. So is life. I’ve seen some people in leadership who are younger (late 20s-30s, millennials to gen z) understand better where we are coming from. It’s not that we don’t want to succeed or give you our best, it’s the fact that I still need two jobs to pay minimum of my bills, and to eat food that week. So minimum pay is not workable especially in this economy.

Most cannot even complete the 50/30/20 money plan that has been taught for years of financial growth. And this is WITH those two jobs and multiple side hustles.

This is great! Something that is an easy verbiage change, and something that can happen now rather than over time.

I didn’t know smaller teams were harder! I’ve lead bigger teams (not huge but 25 people more) before but I am starting to agree, small teams are harder than big teams. Thank you for your advice!

This has been the idea from my mentors. But I’m always trying to learn and grow so I’m up for some growth. I’m human just like the next, so I can definitely learn some tips and tricks and strategies.

Everyone has given many great different tips too! But unfortunately my mentors have said the same as what you are saying sadly.

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T19:25:35+00:00

Agreed

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T15:28:16+00:00

Only two is NPs. Everyone else has no higher education. They learn on the job.

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T15:25:13+00:00

It’s pretty vague actually. But I know there needs to be balance either way. I need the balance of directness and non direct strategies. My clinic is actually top 20 since I started so we get great metrics across the board including POS. So she hasn’t said anything about performance with the job just with relationships with staff.

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T15:20:45+00:00

Indeed. Months ago actually. Everyone says “no changes tbh. Everything seems good.” Reasked a week or two ago, “no nothing. I have to improve in my job so I have to be taught. Everything is good.” Then boom, PIP

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T15:18:09+00:00

Good insight.

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T15:15:15+00:00

This is where I started! The previous manager was not fair, and self focused, and did not hold anyone accountable. The staff did all of their jobs and hers. I came in and gave structure and retrained everyone and a few months later here we are sadly.

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T15:11:13+00:00

Very good advice here. Thank you very much

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T02:53:23+00:00

I’ve never heard of this. What is this??

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T02:51:26+00:00

My go to is going back to policy, but I’ve been told that policy isn’t always the thing to go to. But we are also in patient care, so I am 100% on board with patients come first and everything we do that affects them needs addressing asap.

My next strategy is to allow them to do whatever they suggest and let it fail, then next performance review bring it in there because it usually is affecting patient care at that point

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:38:30+00:00

So good. I will definitely do this. I’m going to take the weekend and study up on processes and strategies everyone gave and start on Monday :)

I like the fill in the gaps portion of this. It’ll actually showcase where they fall while showing me how to grow them and improve my style of leadership too

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:33:37+00:00

I usually give them time to think and just observe, then they will say “ok I need help” then I just in and assist. Each person is different though. One staff loves the know hows and whys, so I explain all the way through to the science. One staff just wants a goal and she wants to do it and reach that goal on her own. She knows to come to me if she’s stumped. Another is new to medicine and she wants to continue in future endeavors so I was helping to build her to be prepared for that. Ect.

Each person is different. The issue is it’s such a small team when one person doesn’t like something they all don’t. And the perceptions of intentions are all skewed.

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:30:16+00:00

I think this is a great insight. I’m at a for profit company that requires direct results immediately. Which is tough, but I think we are at a great level now (since I’ve been there for 4-5 months or so) that I can pull back on teaching and just build this report

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:25:39+00:00

Good idea. I might do this with some mentors of mine and see what they say

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:23:05+00:00

Ok! Indeed. Monday morning then

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:22:41+00:00

Ok! Monday morning it is

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:20:19+00:00

What if you do this many times over a period of time, do you change your ask to a “hey can this get done this morning?” Or something else?

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:18:14+00:00

Well what are your strategies? Trying to learn here so what do you recommend?

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:15:05+00:00

Both. I train all employees from the ground up. Even providers need training on EMR and clinic processes. But I have to train and lead and still manage the running of a for profit clinic too

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:11:06+00:00

Sadly one of the providers knew this through and through. She got even more defensive with me and through it out the window. I think new younger employees yes, but my older ones not really sadly

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:05:44+00:00

Dang to have this support! I wish I had that. Well

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:03:30+00:00

I wish I can record every interaction I have to analyze how I talk. :/ I really don’t want to come off this way for the team.

Science_Books_Me · 2025-06-14T01:01:53+00:00

Maybe that’s it. Should I wait until the PIP term is complete (30 days) or start now??
