Transitioning from being a radiologic technologist to a radiology manager can be a challenging but rewarding experience. However, before deciding to apply for a manager position, a technologist should understand the expectations of the job and should evaluate whether they are suitable for the position. Successful managers are experienced workers who lead by example, communicate effectively, and encourage those around them. Managers typically have enough work experience to perform any task needed and often are called on to handle additional responsibilities in between caring for patients. Learning to prioritize projects and delegate work to others is essential for this position; however, managers should not simply sit back and tell their staff what to do, they should show the staff what needs to be accomplished and guide them through the process without causing excess stress to the team.
