LIVE from the Combined Sections Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, Ali Schoos, PT guest hosts and interviews Dr. Sandra Norby on leadership. Dr. Sandra Norby PT, DPT is the president of the American Physical Therapy Association Private Practice Section.

Leadership styles vary and different people have different strengths. Assembling these different styles and strengths is important when developing at team as Sandra recommends, “It’s not good to pick someone necessarily just like you, we need everybody’s varieties and then appreciating their strengths.”
Many new ideas are being implemented under Sandra’s leadership of the Private Practice Section. Sandra believes, “Our membership is really relying on us to make a difference in their lives as well as the lives of all of our patients.”
As the Private Practice Section continues to grow, Sandra wants to ensure everyone still has a voice. She stresses, “We need to do the things that our members are expecting us to do.”
