In this episode, Dr. Wes Eggett breaks down the 5 Lies of Culture, a concept taught by Ginger Hardage, and explains why these misconceptions can hold businesses—and dental practices—back from reaching their full potential. He dives into how culture isn’t just about perks or mission statements on the wall, but about the daily leadership actions that shape a thriving team.

Dr. Eggett challenges the idea that culture is someone else’s job, emphasizing that every team member, from the front desk to the operatory, plays a role in shaping the patient experience and work environment. He also tackles the fear that empowering employees leads to losing control—when in reality, giving people ownership within a structured framework leads to stronger teams and better results. Finally, he dispels the myth that culture is expensive, offering practical, low-cost strategies that any dental office can use to build engagement, retention, and a more positive workplace.

If you’ve ever wondered why some workplaces thrive while others struggle with morale and turnover, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to cultivate a strong, values-driven culture in your dental practice—without waiting for someone else to do it.

✔ Values must be lived out daily, not just displayed on a wall.
