There are many different ways to influence others. Some nurses use their expertise and knowledge to persuade others. Others use their charisma and personal relationships to build support for their ideas. Still others use their power and authority to get things done.

The key to being an effective influencer is to understand your audience and tailor your approach accordingly. Nurses who are able to connect with others on a personal level are more likely to be successful in influencing them.
