3. SEVEN DIFFERENT KINDS OF POWER USING POWER FROM POSITION VS.
POWER FROM PERSON POSITION PERSON Position power: Derived from top
management and is delegated down the chain of command. Personal
power: Derived from the follower based on the individuals
behaviour. Leaders derive power from their positions and
personalities.

5. POWER FROM POSITION Based on fear. Involves threats and/or
punishment to influence compliance. Followers believe that failure
to comply will lead to punishments. This is the power to force
someone to do something against their will. It is often physical
although other threats may be used. It is the power of dictators,
despots and bullies. Coercion can result in physical harm, although
its principal goal is compliance. Demonstrations of harm are often
used to illustrate what will happen if compliance is not gained.
Coercive POSITION
6. POWER FROM POSITION A common trap that people in such roles
can fall into is to forget that people are obeying the position,
not them. When they either fall from power or move onto other
things, it can be a puzzling surprise that people who used to fawn
at your feet no long do so. Coercive POSITION
7. POWER FROM POSITION Based on the leaders connections with
influential or important persons inside or outside the
organization. Based on the users relationship with influential
people. Induces compliance because others aim at gaining favour.
When an individual has a connection with someone important or
powerful, they are said to possess the power of connection and may
have substantial influence on others despite them not directly
having any other forms of power. If you are connected to the
manager of the organisation, your workmates give you respect. It is
also common with political connections especially in those
parastatal organisations that have (had?) very high political
aroma. POSITIONConnection
8. POWER FROM POSITION Based on the users ability to influence
others with something of value to them. In this case the leader has
the ability to provide rewards for other people. One of the main
reasons we work is for the money we need to conduct our lives.
There are many more forms of reward -- in fact anything we find
desirable can be a reward, from a million dollar yacht to a pat on
the back. Reward power is thus the ability to give other people
what they want, and hence ask them to do things for you in
exchange. Rewards can also be used to punish, such as when they are
withheld. The promise is essentially the same: do this and you will
get that. POSITIONReward
9. Based on the users position power given by the organisation,
the position held by the leader. The power of the leader is
accepted by those who are the power is aimed at. The higher the
position, the more legitimate power a leader will gain from the
position. Legitimate power is that which is invested in a role.
Kings, policemen and managers all have legitimate power if the
others accept their role. The legitimacy may come from a higher
power. Legitimate power can often thus be the acceptable face of
raw power. PERSONPOSITION Legitimate
10. POWER WITHIN PERSON Based on the users personal power
relationship with others and the leaders personal traits. Leaders
scoring high referent power are generally liked and admired. This
is the power from another person liking you or wanting to be like
you. It is the power of charisma and fame and is wielded by all
celebrities (by definition) as well as more local social leaders.
In wanting to be like these people, we stand near them, hoping some
of the charisma will rub off onto us. Those with referent power can
also use it for coercion. One of the things we fear most is social
exclusion, and all it takes is a word from a social leader for us
to be shunned by others in the group. ReferentPERSON
11. POWER WITHIN PERSON Based on the leaders possession of
information that is perceived as valuable. Based on data desired by
others. We may be looking for some information, which another
person has or has access to, and that information is may be so
valuable to our own job or success. The person having that
information may influence our behaviour in the sense we have to
comply with his or her wishes in order to access for them to make
it available to us PERSON Information
12. POWER WITHIN PERSON Based on the users skills and
knowledge, which gain the respect of others. When I have knowledge
and skill that someone else requires, then I have Expert power.
This is a very common form of power and is the basis for a very
large proportion of human collaboration, including most companies
where the principle of specialization allows large and complex
enterprises to be undertaken. PERSON Expert
