Question

You are the chief financial officer of Smithville Hospital, and you have recently implemented a budget reduction throughout the hospital. You want to ensure your actions are accepted among the hospital department managers.
--What would be the best way to communicate with these department
   managers?
--If there is resistance, what should you do?

Answer 1

A. The best way to communicate to these managers is to tell them personally and solve their objections in a constructive manner and when there will be a personal form of communication there will be less chances of resistance to the changes. Personal form of communication will be making these managers understand about the need of adoption of new budget and it will also help them in order to communicate constructively and help in better implementation of the newly constructed budget policy.

B. If there is resistance, I will be trying to constructively manage these objections of the managers and I will be trying to fulfill them with best possible resolution and I will be trying to adopt a channel of a smooth flow of communication that will be helping in implementation of the changes by elimination of the resistance to the changes.
