Communicating for Results

Abstract

Previous articles in the “Managing for Results” series have addressed setting goals, achieving results, and managing time. This concluding article will attempt to put these ideas into an operational framework from the viewpoint of communicating for results. For managers, the two most highly sought skills are effective speaking and writing; there is no single aspect of supervision or management that does not require these tools. Listening is equally important because communication is a two-way process. Nuclear medicine managers, along with all others in the health professions, must master these skills for personal and professional growth and goal accomplishment. A worksheet is included to direct your thinking about the key ideas addressed below. Those wishing to earn CEU(VOICE) credit for these continuing education articles must return a completed worksheet for each article in the series.
