You've likely heard the real estate mantra - "location, location, location!" We'd like to propose a leadership mantra - "relationships, relationships, relationships!"
The tactic of rounding is the art of purposeful communication to build relationships and engagement. It is a powerful leadership tool to add to your tool kit.
As the instructor and mentor for this course, I know first hand the benefits of rounding on my leadership, team, and organization. For well over a decade of my years as a healthcare leader, I embraced a habit of rounding each and every day I worked. Just like brushing my teeth, I couldn't imagine not doing it in my day. Rounding wasn't "extra work" - it was how I did my work.
Through this CapstoneEDU course, Work Relationships that Work, you will create the habit of purposeful, systematic rounding in your leadership. When you do so, you will enjoy the benefits of strengthened relationships and elevated engagement in the years ahead.

Denise Hart, Executive Director of Human Resources "Everyone can see a difference!"
"The one-on-one rounding has been the big thing - connecting with employees. From where I sit, that helps get a lot of things taken care of before things get worse, disconnected or confusion, so the talks with employees are great."
