[ra-POR, ra-POER, rah-POER] 
1. a relationship or bond between people of mutual understanding, affinity, or trust: "As a former teacher, Sally had a knack for establishing a rapport with young children."
Origin:
Approximately 1650; from French, 'rapport'; from Old French, 'raporter': to bring back ('re-': again + 'aporter': to bring, from Latin, 'apportare,' 'ad-': toward + 'portare': to carry). In action:
"While some academic historians have disdained McCullough and Isaacson as mere popularizers, Fischer takes a different view. 'They are filling a vacuum that has been left by academic historians,' he says, 'who in the last generation have moved away from works that were meant to reach the general public. Historians have been writing mainly for each other, and losing their rapport with the public. Making history meaningful for people is an effort to exercise the imagination.'"
David Mehegan. "A revolutionary view," The Boston Globe (February 16, 2004).
"As a result of these procedures, a common rapport develops between the CFO and the CIO and their respective staffs. Ideas and projects can be effectively proposed, evaluated and implemented, with positive results measured and communicated.
Thawing out this corporate cold war will take commitment and communication. The focus should be on measuring and obtaining results for the good of the entire organization rather than on interdepartmental differences. Emphasizing common links and interests will help both the financial and the IT staffs do their jobs better and contribute more effectively to overall corporate goals."
Bo Hofstead. "Thawing out the CIO-CFO cold war," Cnet.com (February 16, 2004).
"Staying a shorter time in hospital or not at all also means they saved up to $750 in the half year they were being monitored.
Said Miss Chong: 'As a nurse in a ward, my main concern is that the patient gets well while he or she is in hospital, not so much what happens after that.
'Being a disease manager, like now, is more fulfilling in a way because you build better rapport with patients and get to know them better.'"
Lee Hui Chieh. "She helps to keep patients out of hospital: Case managers like Miss Chong Wai Fung monitor patients after discharge so they don't need to come back often." The Straits Times (February 17, 2004).
