Leadership avoidance is rarely loud.
It is quiet. Subtle. And often disguised as being “too busy”, “too nice”, or “waiting for the right time”.

In this episode of the Practice Partners Podcast, Ami and Zac unpack the uncomfortable but common reality of leadership avoidance in general practice.

We explore:

• What leadership avoidance actually looks like in day-to-day clinic operations
• Why even experienced practice owners and leaders fall into avoidance patterns
• How avoiding difficult conversations, decisions, and accountability quietly stalls growth
• How leadership avoidance impacts team culture, performance, and retention

Along the way, we draw on real-world scenarios from inside clinics and, yes, have a bit of a rant about how leadership avoidance ultimately costs practices time, money, and peace of mind.

If you are a Practice Owner, Practice Manager, GP Lead, or Senior Team Member who knows something is being avoided but has not quite named it yet, this episode will hit close to home.

Leadership does not get easier when it is delayed.
It just gets more expensive.

Leadership is not a title.
It is what happens between the phone ringing, the appointment book filling, the team asking questions, and the quiet decisions no one sees.

In this episode of the Practice Partners Podcast, Josie takes our listeners inside a real day in the life of an Admin Leader in general practice and we officially welcome Josie into her new role.

We unpack:

• What the Admin Leader role actually looks like day to day
• The balance between front desk leadership and operational accountability
• How admin leaders influence flow, culture, and patient experience
• The difference between being busy at reception and leading a team
• Common challenges admin leaders face and how to manage them effectively

We also talk honestly about:

• Stepping up into leadership from within the admin team
• Setting expectations without losing approachability
• Supporting the practice manager and clinical team
• Why strong admin leadership is critical to a well-run clinic

This episode is for receptionists considering their next step, admin leaders finding their feet, and practice owners who want to better understand the role that keeps everything moving.

Admin leadership is not glamorous.
But when done well, it changes everything.

Welcome to the role, Josie.
