I came across a blog (http://www.hrbartender.com/2010/training/7-types-of-power-in-the-workplace/)
that I really enjoyed! It talked about the 7 types of power in the workplace. I think it would be especially good for new leaders just emerging in the management world...so they can get a clue as to where the "power" actually comes from in the workplace....and it isn't just from their title.
I definitely have the power! :) I'm not ashamed to say or being boastful when I say it...as the article mentions, "Now, stop being modest and thinking to yourself…I don’t have any power. As you can see, there are lots of different ways power can manifest itself. And for that reason, it’s important to realize that power exists in all of us." Out of the seven types of power listed, I have the following: Connection power, Expert power (depending on which aspect of my life we are referring to), and Referent power.
What kinds of power do you hold???
