This paper will outline my beliefs, assumptions, and values of leadership as they related
to these four concepts: leader, person, health and the environment. I will talk about my own
experiences working in a hospital as a medical doctor and how those experiences inform my

leader in the healthcare industry is a doctor, a nurse, a pharmacist, a technician, or any healthcare
provider that sets an example and leads other to become successful in their profession without
the need gain anything from them. They do it because they want to advance their organization
and culture into the coming healthcare generation. I see leaders as a selfless individual who

management of a patient, will we manage the illness, or will we first manage the patient.
Usually, I would not understand my professor's conception of the management. My thought was
that treatment of the disease or the patient is the same. However, I failed to follow the most
important lesson that my professor teaching, is that treatment of the individual first by respecting
their wishes, treating them with respect, and comforting them in their stress is significant to the
