Ep 108: The GP Helmet
About this episode
This episode discusses the challenges GP Practice Owners face in stepping out of their clinical identity to effectively lead their practices.
Most GP Practice Owners don’t have a time problem. They have an identity problem. After 20 years as a doctor, the GP role becomes hard to step out of. Patients need you. Staff pull you back in. The work feels familiar, useful, and immediately rewarding. Owner work doesn’t feel like that. It’s slower. Messier. Less obvious. And because it doesn’t fit neatly between patients, it gets pushed to the side. In this episode, Todd and Sachin unpack why the GP “helmet” is so hard to take off, what it costs the Practice, and what needs to change if you want to actually lead your Practice. What you’ll get from this episode: The three roles every GP Owner carries: GP, shareholder, and owner Why the GP identity is the hardest one to step out of The martyrdom pattern: “Only I can do this,” and what it quietly costs Why a “quick half-hour job” can become 20 hours over 12 weeks How unfinished projects pile up when owner time isn’t protected The Whitney Houston test for imposter syndrome Why reducing clinical time is the first structural move most Owners avoid Resources mentioned: Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers .....
