title: Enhancing interdepartmental relations.
abstract: In summary, it is important that the hospital manager have a positive attitude; recognize that not all projects will gain approval and that competition with others for scarce resources is a reality. A well throughout plan, anticipating questions, objections, and including affected departments, is a necessary first step to enhancing the manager's image. Being a polished orator is not essential, but being organized is. Most important, a progressive, "can-do" attitude is always respected by others.
