As much as leaders hope to be “in charge”, what they quickly learn is that they must deal with many things beyond their control, says Jeff Sperring, MD, CEO of Seattle Children's. This can be a particular challenge for physicians as they advance into leadership roles of increasing authority. “The only guarantee is no guarantee," he says.
