Series 2 Episode 10: Perfection is the enemy of good enough
We speak to Andrew Davis, Managing Director of Right at Home Bournemouth and Poole.
Andrew reflects on how registered managers are often underestimated from those outside care, how he prioritises delegation and how perfection can be the enemy of good enough.
Hear about the work that goes into achieving an outstanding CQC rating and how managers shouldn’t be afraid of ‘blowing your own trumpet’.
Andrew also shares how they have used social media to promote the business, but also for their staff to feel a sense of pride for where they work and give them a sense of belonging. He also discusses the importance of always learning no matter how senior you may be as ‘you’re never too cool for school!’
