This fictional case describes a managerial situation of implementing cone‐beam computed tomography faced by a solo medical physicist in a rural community hospital. The intended use of the case study, in either a facilitated learning session or self‐study, is to inspire the readers to discuss the situation, analyze the institutional and personal factors, apply relevant leadership skills, and propose action plans. This case study falls under the scope of, and is supported by, the Medical Physics Leadership Academy (MPLA). A sample facilitator’s guide or self‐study guide is included in the manuscript for reference by users of this case study.
