Discussion
The use of power can have positive and negative impacts on the organization. After looking at the five source power described in our text, share your thoughts on how these various types of power may be used to either drive or ruin the business. Remember to consider:
• Under what business conditions should each be used?
• Is there a universal model for a firm in growth vs. one that is decline?
• How does the use of power differ in a global vs. a domestic business?
• Are leaders able to use various forms of power depending on the situation or is personality dependent?
