Robert Spiel, MBA

Bob Spiel’s passion is building high-performance teams who deliver exceptional service while doing more, in less time with less stress. His firms, Spiel Consulting and Dentist Hiring Pros, transform general and specialty dental practices by building leaders at all levels — with a special focus on building leaders among owners and associate dentists.

Bob had over twenty-five years of business experience before getting into dentistry including being a hospital and surgical center CEO, as well as an operations director for two mid-cap firms. This taught Bob to see each need in a dental practice with a “systems orientation”. Using this approach, over the past 10 years his firms have achieved a remarkable 90% success rate in searching for, hiring, and retaining associate dentists compared to the dismal 75% failure rate the dental industry has as a track record. He sees this as the number one threat to the continuation of private practice dentistry and aims to change that.

He is a faculty member for Dr. Gordon Christensen where he teaches a breakthrough course on leadership each fall called Igniting the Leader in You, as well as the author of: Flip Your Focus — Igniting People, Profits and Performance through Upside-down Leadership (FlipYourFocusBook.com).
