Empowering Others in Chiropractic Healthcare Practice
You are a leader.
You may not consider yourself a leader. But you are. So is everyone on your team.
Not only by the service you provide, but by the example you set.
What is leadership? Let’s take a look to see if you fit:
- “Leadership is not about who you are or where you sit. It’s about what you do to make a difference in the lives of others.” — Jim Kouzes & Barry Posner, The Leadership Challenge
- “Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.” — Simon Sinek
- “Leaders become great, not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.” — John C. Maxwell
I think you’ll have to agree, both you and your team are leaders. Servant leaders in chiropractic and your healthcare practice.
But, as you know, leadership is tough. It isn’t easy.
But you did it in 2025.
You helped others in big ways and small, regardless of your role.
It is possible, quite likely in fact, that you may not have acknowledged the vital role you and your teammates played in the wellbeing of others last year.
Why not? Well (lol) … because of all the #@#% that occurs when trying to get things done. The list can go on and on… there is so much noise and changes that occur in practice that sometimes it is difficult to see the road we are on.
But, you made it through another year. And in your wake, people are better.
All of us at Petty, Michel and Associates are proud to work with you. We appreciate your struggles and celebrate your wins as independent health care leaders!
In this New Year, stay true to you purpose and your role as the servant leader that you are – and your path to your goals in 2026 will be straighter and more certain.
“We never know how far reaching something we may think,
say or do today will affect the lives of millions tomorrow.”

“The Chiropractic Patient Engagement Scale” outlines the importance of leadership and patient engagement in chiropractic practices. It emphasizes that effective management and leadership are crucial for the success of a practice, as they enable clinic directors to focus on leading rather than being bogged down by administrative tasks. The article highlights the role of leaders in providing trust, compassion, stability, and hope to both staff and patients.
