AB  - This article is the second in the “Managing for Results” series. It is intended to help nuclear medicine personnel improve their managerial effectiveness. A practical approach to getting results in an often imperfect world is presented herein. The authors discuss: (1) four basic notions about managing for results, (2) defining a realistic improvement plan or vision based on the values of the organization and its people, (3) setting short-term goals, (4) five steps for achieving results, and (5) capitalizing on short-term project successes for the long term. Once again a worksheet is included to direct your thinking about the key ideas addressed in the article. To get the most benefit from this series of continuing education articles, it is important to complete the worksheet. In addition, your responses will provide the authors with feedback about your reactions to the material presented and they will discuss materials gathered from your worksheets in their remaining articles. Those wishing to earn CEU (VOICE) credit for these management articles must return a completed worksheet for each article in the series.
