SummaryIn this episode, Dr. Megan Carter sits down with Greta Rosler, founder of Radius Leaders, to discuss why so many healthcare leaders struggle with leader rounding—and why simply rounding more isn't the answer. Greta shares practical strategies for making rounding efficient, impactful, and sustainable so leaders can improve engagement, accountability, patient experience, and outcomes without adding more chaos to their day. KeywordsLeader rounding, nurse leadership, healthcare leadership, patient experience, staff engagement, accountability, healthcare culture, nurse manager, leadership development Chaos Whispering Practical Tips• Address your rounding hesitancy. Get honest about what's preventing you from rounding consistently.• Round with a purpose. Identify a specific goal, outcome, or problem you're trying to better understand.• Use open-ended questions. Questions like "How has communication about your care been going?" uncover more meaningful information than yes/no questions.• Focus on efficiency and impact. Effective rounds can often be completed in just a few minutes when approached strategically.• Don't become the fixer of everything. Your role is to build trust, gather information, and remove barriers—not personally solve every problem.• Protect dedicated rounding time. Schedule rounding blocks on your calendar and treat them as a priority.• Use rounding to model expectations. Leaders influence culture through their visible actions and presence.• Remember: the round is only the beginning. The real impact comes from what you do with the information afterward.Connect with our Guest:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gretarosler/Link to discount: Email our training team @ [email protected] for additional info and pricing details about our WIN Your Rounds© e-Learning, and mention code NOCHAOS for 50% off. HERE is an electronic brochure about the modules if you want to learn more!AND from 6/15-7/17 you can enter code NOCHAOS on our site for 50% off any of our other paid resources. Connect with Dr. Carter:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-megan-carter-dnp-rn-nea-bc/Company Website: https://www.mchcc.netPodcast official website: https://www.mchcc.net/cw-podcast
