Renewing the process of mentoring: why our industry requires it

Due to the nature of modern business organizations and the ever increasing competiveness and corporatization associated with the business environment, the number of individuals working without a mentor is growing. For individuals at the beginning of their careers or those expanding their responsibilities to include additional service lines, the lack of a strong and willing mentor can increase the learning curve and frustration of the leader. Successful mentoring, along with certain professional organizations, will allow us to make successful strides toward renewing and growing leadership within the imaging field.
