Dr. Eric Roman

Founder of Associate Growth and Co-Founder of joyFULL Growth Co.

Dr. Eric J. Roman started his professional journey as a dentist, but soon became the CEO of several fast growing, multi-location dental groups that generated over $200 million in care during his 10 years of leadership.

Despite the successes, the journey almost destroyed the things that mattered most to Eric in his life. He exited the company he founded to become one of the dental industry’s most esteemed experts on associate dentist development, team performance, and clinical/executive leadership. His coaching and training across the DSO industry has served several billion dollars in annual dental revenue — and he’s just getting started.

Eric’s approach starts with love. He believes the future of dentistry starts with healthy dentists, healthy teams, and healthy leaders. If the future of your group is dependent on great dental associate performance, Eric is the expert you want in your corner.

Your Team Isn't Lazy. They're Lost.

Session Overview:

Most teams don’t fail because they lack data — they fail because no one taught them what to do with it. In this session, you’ll explore why simply handing your team a dashboard isn’t enough and how well-intended leaders often undermine performance by confusing metrics with coaching.

Learn how to build a performance-driven culture by turning KPIs into actionable tools so your team is empowered with clarity. In addition, discover how shifting from management to mentorship drives results.

Key Takeaways:
  • Identify the most common reasons analytics implementations fail — and what to do differently.
  • Understand the core elements of a KPI playbook and how it turns data into action.
  • Learn how to create a performance-driven culture through skill-building, feedback and coaching instead of micromanagement.
