7 Types of Power
By connecting the perception
of a leader's power bases with different leadership styles, this article blends
the concept of power with situational leadership. A new tool, the Power
Perception Profile, is introduced and explored along with the identification of
power sources and a study of situational leadership. We identify maturity
levels and talk about how they relate to sources of power and leadership.
John French and Bertram Raven,
two psychologists, created a framework for comprehending various forms of power
in 1959. Lipkin discusses these ideas in her book and explains why it's crucial
for leaders to be aware of the style they're employing.
