Greeting patients, families, and colleagues with a handshake and a smile and listening carefully when problems arise are effective strategies for building rapport, trust, and respect. These behaviors demonstrate a personable and attentive approach to leadership, which can be perceived as powerful in the eyes of others. The other options, such as mandating rigid appearance standards or constant smiling, could actually detract from the nurse manager's credibility and respectability.
