Compassion is one of the most important attributes of a successful doctor. Patients often experience anxiety and stress along with their pain or illness, and need to feel that their practitioner is empathetic to their issues and dedicated to creating the best outcome.
Strong values underpin an organization and its people, and those values matter even more as the organization grows. Any entity that wants to make a difference and significantly impact the lives of its fellow staff members and patients must embrace a value-based culture.
