I've published a new article in the Self-Aware series on the main COMMERCE-SAVVY.COM website. This piece discusses the five different forms of power available to a leader, with the usual COMMERCE-SAVVY slant on technical professionals and leadership.
Abstract
Power is a force of influence and authority. Where does a leader get power from? Or do a leader’s followers give it to them? Well it’s both. In this paper we’ll be looking at the five different sources of power a leader can use, with some advice on when these powers should be used, and perhaps when not. The paper covers Expert Power, Positional Power, Reward Power, Coercive Power and Personal Power.
