How Leader Influence Others


Why do people accept the influence of a leader?. Often, they do so because leaders have power. Yet Khatharine Graham, chairperson of the influntial Washington Post Company, notes, “Nobody ever has as much power as you think they do.” In this article, i examine the major sources of power and whe ways that leader can effectively use the power they potentially have available.

Power is the ca[pacity to affect the behavior of others. Leaders in organizations typically rely on some or all six major types of power.

2.     Expert power
3.     Coercive power
4.     Expert power
6.     Referent power

Although all six types of power are potential means of influencing others, in actual usage they may elicit somewhat different levels of subordinate motivation.
