Study Notes

Leadership and Power

  • Power is the potential to influence others' beliefs, attitudes, and actions.
  • Six bases of power influence a leader's ability to affect others: referent, expert, legitimate, reward, coercive, and information.
  • Referent power comes from followers' admiration and liking for the leader.
  • Expert power stems from followers' perception of the leader's competence.
  • Legitimate power is linked to a leader's formal position or status.
  • Reward power is the capacity to give positive incentives.
  • Coercive power is the capacity to inflict penalties.
  • Information power comes from possessing needed or desired knowledge.
  • Coercion is using force to effect change, often through threats or punishment, and shouldn't be considered ideal leadership.
  • Leadership stresses influence toward shared goals, unlike coercion, which focuses on leader-desired outcomes.

Leadership and Management

  • Management focuses on order, consistency, planning, organizing, staffing, and controlling.
  • Leadership focuses on inducing change and movement, establishing direction, aligning people, motivating, and inspiring.
  • Management and leadership overlap—managers influence groups to meet goals, and leaders engage in management activities.

Modern Leadership Theories

  • Charismatic Leadership: Charisma is a leader's individual characteristics. Charismatic leaders have more influence than non-charismatic leaders. Characteristics include: follower faith in leader's convictions, similar beliefs, unquestioning acceptance, perceived excellence by followers, willingly obeyed followers, emotional connection to the company, goal-driven followers seeking advancement, and group followers contributing to success.
