a. Decision-making ability c. Charisma when speaking to people

A
The personal power of nurses is evident in the decisions they make. Nurses' sense of power is greater
when they can influence events through personal effort. Connection is ultimately about building
personal and professional relationships. People who are strongly connected to others experience a
degree of intimacy and a level of commitment that empowers them and others. Nurses who are trusted
and respected by others and are most able to exert influence over others tend to be charismatic. The
knowledge and skills nurses possess is referred to as expert power.
