Leaders and power.

 Sources of power.

 There are 5 sources of power that leaders use:

• Legitimate power – the power a person has as a result of his position in the organization
• Coercive power – is the power of fear, threat, pain, restrictions
• Reward power – it produces positive benefits: money, appraisal, promotion, friendly colleagues
• Expert power – influence that results from special skill or knowledge
• Referent power – it arises from identification with a person who has desirable resources or personal traits. It develops out of admiration of another and a desire to be like that person.
