How to Delegate Without Sacrificing Client Experience with Dr. Ruth Mannschreck

If you stepped away from your law firm tomorrow, what would stop working?

For Dr. Ruth Mannschreck, that question became very real when her daughter’s traumatic birth forced her to cut her dental practice from five days a week to two and a half.

She could have accepted that working less meant earning less. Instead, Ruth and her team changed the way the practice operated. They returned to their previous revenue, continued to grow, and built a business that no longer depended on Ruth being involved in everything.

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley talks with Ruth about what law firm owners can learn from her experience. They discuss building a team that takes ownership, creating a better client experience, hiring the right people, and letting go of work without losing accountability.

If your firm still needs you to answer every question, solve every problem, and make every important decision, Ruth’s story offers a different picture of what your practice could look like.
