74% of Leaders Don't Have Time for Leadership
Veterinary leaders are under pressure. In practice today, it’s go-go-go. Emails. Fires to put out. HR headaches. Inventory drama. Marketing that never gets done. Somewhere in that chaos, you’re meant to “be a leader.”
But how do you lead when there’s no time left in the day?
In our landmark Leadership Actions study, 74% of veterinary leaders said they struggle to make time for their leadership priorities. That gap is costing practices dearly in performance, morale, and growth.
Used well, AI tools can reclaim your time, reduce your overwhelm, and help you focus on what matters most: leading your team and growing your practice.
