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.

When physicians act as change agents among their peers, they encounter many of the same resistances that quality improvement professionals face. Practice guidelines are one of several keys to influencing doctors to bring their utilization rates in line with their peers. Good data are another must-have tool for achieving physician buy-in on changing care practices. Most doctors pay attention to peer influence and pressure when it comes to changing their familiar care practices. Physicians report that sometimes the motivation to change springs from the desire to stave off external controls by payers and the government.
