In contrast, the clinical side of the practice is experienced as more complex and higher-stakes, where breakdowns are less visible and harder to repair.\nThey also explore broader questions around role clarity, the limits of EOS within a relational business, and whether ownership and coachability can be developed—or need to be present from the start.\nRather than offering fixed answers, this conversation reflects the ongoing process of building a practice that continues to evolve.\nTimestamps:\n\n00:00 Delegation vs. Ownership\n01:40 How Operational Ownership Actually Shifted\n08:51 Ops vs. Clinical: Different Stakes\n14:03 Can Ownership Be Taught?\n19:45 Role Clarity and Org Structure\n22:13 Where EOS Helps—and Where It Doesn’t\n24:41 Coachability and Leadership Traits\n31:28 Right Person, Right Seat\n34:42 Delegation When Roles Are Unclear\n35:38 Growth Pressure and System Cracks\n38:12 The Living Practice Feedback Loop\n40:29 Closing Reflections\nIf this conversation resonated, share it with a colleague or leader navigating similar questions around delegation and ownership—and subscribe for more conversations exploring the realities of building and leading a living practice.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/P5uMnMVyJYchWaP149qc06GsiCMNhe3xYghlUoWev1I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zYjgx/OWI3ZGNiMDdlYTM0/ZGMyYTVhNmZjNzFl/MWRkMC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
