CEO Less Stress

Had a good conversation with Dr. Peter Chiang, the managing partner of a large pediatric dental office in Salinas California, a few days ago. He related that he had been on a week vacation and on returning didn't feel the stress he used to when he was away from a very busy practice. What was the secrete? He asked key staff and his partners to keep him in the loop for a variety of practice related emails, even on routine matters, during the period he was away. He indicated that he seldom sent an email unless absolutely necessary during the period he was away, but just the fact of having what amounted to a daily running update made him feel much more in touch with the affairs of his office. The result, less stress on returning to the practice and a feeling of being right in step.
