Leadership Engagement Toolkit: Safety Leadership Rounds

One of the guiding principles of high reliability organizations, or HROs, is deference to expertise. This means that there are mechanisms
in place to identify the individuals with the most relevant expertise in any given situation. And with this expertise, comes the authority for decision-making. The input and decisions of those with the most knowledge, skill level, and expertise takes priority over rank and/or seniority.

In order to mitigate errors, reduce undesired variability, and identify improvement opportunities, the Military Health System has embraced its High Reliability Organization Guiding Principles by assembling a set of evidence-based strategies into a document called the Leadership Engagement Toolkit. One specific strategy that can immediately improve the safety within your organization is the Safety Leadership
Rounds, also known as WalkRounds™. A Safety Leadership Round is a practice where, on at least a weekly basis, leaders visit a department and have informal conversations with staff members in regards to safety issues.

We encourage you to consider how you can use this practice in your organization.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
