Abstract
Not all leaders are born. Leader Labs were developed by Sutter Health so its doctors could hone their leadership skills--or discover the leadership track wasn't what they wanted after all. Peers, bosses, and subordinates provide an involved and honest description of the doctor's strengths and weaknesses. The doctor responds to that feedback and develops and action plan, with the help of Leader Lab's facilitators. During the three-day process, some doctors discover that they don't actually want to be leaders at all; such a discovery should not be viewed as a waste of time, but actually a way to save time and effort over the long run.
