Last week, I once again learned a hard lesson about trust and
integrity. Trust is built on a
foundation of integrity, and integrity is one of MD Anderson’s core values. Our
employee Handbook entitled Do the Right Thing, defines integrity as “We
work together to merit the trust of our colleagues and those we serve”. One of my first experiences with death in the
Army was all about trust. I remember kneeling
on the ground, tears streaming down my face, as the medevac flew away, so angry
because it had been such a senseless death.
I gathered the squad around me, and all I could think about were the 12
scout laws that I’d memorized years before, that start with trustworthy and
loyal. But just like that day as the hum
of the medevac disappeared, last week I knew I had to let go of the sting of
broken trust and move on, for life goes on.
Be open to core value lessons.
