Power and Leadership
Legitimate Power
-
The leader with legitimate power has the right, or the authority, to tell others what to do; employees are obligated to comply with legitimate orders.
A manager can assign tasks to a subordinate, and a subordinate who refuses to do them can be reprimanded or even fired.
Reward Power
-
Rewards that a manager may control include salary increases, bonuses, promotion recommendations, praise, recognition, and interesting job assignments.
-
Coercive Power
The leader with coercive power has control over
punishments and the people comply to avoid those punishments.
For instance, a manager implements an absenteeism policy that administers disciplinary actions to offending employees.
In most organizations today, coercion is limited to verbal reprimands, written reprimands, disciplinary layoffs, fines, demotion and termination.
Referent Power
The people comply with their leader because of admiration, a desire for approval, personal liking, or a desire to be like the leader.
For example, young, ambitious managers emulate the work habits and personal style of a successful, charismatic executive.
-
Expert Power
The people comply with the leader because they believe in, can learn from, or can otherwise gain from that expertise.
For example, a sales manager gives her salespeople some tips on closing deals. The salespeople then alter their sales techniques because they respect the manager’s expertise.
