POWER TYPE 1 - Legitimate, Authority, Position, Access to Formal Communication (THE BOSS IN ALL OF HIS OR HER VARIOUS POSITIONS OR FORMS)
POWER TYPE 2 - Expert, Knowledge, Technical Superiority, Communication Skill, Task or Job (THE M.I.S. MANAGER & THE HEAD OF ENGINEERING)
POWER TYPE 3 - Coercive, Fear, Take Away, Negative Control of Resources or Information (PURCHASING STAFF, FINANCIAL CONTROL & THE HR DIRECTOR)
POWER TYPE 4 - Referent, Personal Attractiveness, Relationship, Groups, Charisma, Sex (THE BOSS’S SECRETARY, THE TOP SALESPERSON, THE LOVELY YOUNG THING FROM PR AND THE OFFICE STUD)
POWER TYPE 5 - Reward, Positive Control of Resources or Information, Money, Benefits (THE BOSS, THE SUPERVISOR, PROJECT MANAGERS & MOST OF THE ABOVE)
To be truly ‘powerful’ all five groups should be used, reliance on one group will ultimately lead to loss of power i.e. authority can be withdrawn, knowledge becomes outdated, fear creates subversion, we all get old (and ugly) and our ability to reward can be hampered by the vagaries of the business climate and company edicts.
A LOT TO THINK ABOUT (AND DO) TO BE TRULY POWERFUL
