Which rules for handling introductions are being broken in the following scenario? Select all that apply.
Alex: Hey, Blake, this is my dad.
Dad: Nice to meet you, Blake.
Blake: "Yeah, what's up?"
Rule 1: Make them—an awkward introduction is better than no introduction.
Rule 2: Acknowledge status—introduce people of lesser status to those of greater status.
Rule 3: Include relevant information—work titles, roles, and areas of common interest.
Rule 4: Include titles—don't assume you're on a first name basis. Wait to be told and use Mr., Ms., Dr., etc., in the meantime.
Rule 5: Own up to memory loss; if you don't remember a person's name, don't fake it.
Rule 6: Remember that nonverbal communication is as important as verbal.
Rule 7: Respond in kind when introduced.
Rule 8: When introducing yourself, apply all rules above, but refrain from using personal titles.
