The Visionary-in-waiting

 

Core Profile:
A seasoned imaging professional who’s deeply intuitive, quietly innovative, and often the “go-to” team member behind the scenes. You’ve got ideas to improve patient care, optimize workflows, or elevate your department—but you’ve been waiting for permission, a title, or the "right" time. You know the system could be better—but you’re unsure where you fit in the solution, and so you do nothing.

​

Typical Roles:

• Staff technologists with 10+ years' experience

• Informal team leaders who aren’t in official leadership roles

• Professionals who’ve hit a ceiling and feel overlooked​

 

Career Barriers:

• Unclear pathways to contribute beyond the imaging room

• Fear of “rocking the boat”

• Waiting for external validation before stepping up

 

Needs a Shift In:

Owning their voice and vision without waiting for a job title to match it.
Learning how to lead from within and architect new lanes.
