Episode 14 - Dr. Robert Kolts’ Tips for Team Building: Balance in Business
About this Episode
In this week’s episode, Spirit Consulting speaks with Dr. Robert Kolts, clinical director at Overjet, a husband and father of seven. Dr. Kolts discusses balancing tasks through effective prioritization while focusing on family relationships.
Dr. Kolts graduated dental school in 2012 but has since taken a less traditional path through his career. After three months in private practice, he realized he lacked the necessary passion for clinical practice. Thus, he went back to school for his MBA from Penn State and eventually invested in several properties. Over the next few years, he progressed through various leadership positions, eventually leading to his current role as the Clinical Director at Overjet.
Dr. Kolts speaks about managing different priorities while maintaining his relationships with his family. He describes the work-life balance as an “ebb and flow” of responsibilities in other areas of his life. Dr. Kolts emphasizes discerning what is professionally fulfilling and avoiding burnout by balancing personal passions with career goals.
Dr. Kolts emphasizes the importance of building relationships as a leader. While ensuring friendships do not obstruct work experience is necessary, he argues that personal engagement with employees is essential. He underscores the importance of being a human first and a leader second. He reaffirms the balance between personal and professional life in terms of priorities and building a cohesive team.
Dr. Kolts’ respect and commitment shine through in his leadership. With years of experience in managerial and directorial roles within dentistry, Dr. Kolts now shares his wisdom on the Tips for Team Building Podcast.
