The distant hyper-professional

Your technical expertise is unquestionable. You work with mastery and assurance that naturally commands respect. Your rigor and high standards make you a renowned practitioner, and no one could justly challenge your skills.

However, your approach, which is resolutely focused on the precision of the task and the efficiency of care, sometimes leads you to overlook aspects you consider secondary, such as management, communication, or the relationship with your assistants and patients. You neither have the time nor the desire to dwell on these areas, and it’s true that, compared to your expertise, they may seem less important.

Your assertiveness and clarity make up for the lack of communication effort, but this stance creates distance. Your assistants, impressed by your confidence, may hesitate to share their ideas or doubts, even though they could provide more support. Your patients, while trusting your expertise, might leave with questions or misunderstandings they don’t feel comfortable voicing. This isn't necessarily an issue of pedagogy, but perhaps of leaving room for exchange at a key moment.

In your case, there's no need to revolutionize your way of working, much less stray from what makes you strong. However, by giving some attention to the aspects you tend to neglect, you could gain a lot without a disproportionate effort: a smoother atmosphere within your team, patients who are more confident and more likely to accept your treatment plans, and ultimately, increased recognition that will also translate into economic performance.

The investment required is minimal compared to the significant measurable return that can be expected: a slight adjustment would suffice to amplify your impact, fully valuing the talent you already demonstrate every day.
