What if I told you that keeping one toxic team member could be quietly killing your culture—and your revenue?

In this 5 Minute Friday, I’m not talking about technology, marketing, or new systems. I’m talking about people—and how the wrong ones can undermine everything you’ve built. In a tough hiring market, it's tempting to overlook red flags. But if someone consistently violates your core values, they don’t belong in your practice. Period.
I’ll walk you through how I hire, fire, and lead based on a simple framework: core values. If your office tolerates dishonesty, drama, or mediocrity—even from that “indispensable” employee—it sends the wrong message to the rest of your team. This episode is your invitation to reclaim control, protect your culture, and prioritize the people who make your practice great.
“You will never, ever, ever regret firing that toxic employee in your practice.”
— Dr. Glenn Krieger
“Don't tolerate mediocrity. Underachievers tease us with their potential.”
— Dr. Glenn Krieger
