Influence Processes
You have been encouraged by a colleague to write a brief article about "CEOs and presidents" for a management journal. You have decided to compare the leadership styles of three leaders. Using the Library, the Internet, and your course materials, write a 4-5 page document via Word that elaborates on the following:
In your article, provide the following:
- An introduction to the concept of influence processes
- A summary of the various types of influence processes and the factors that can affect them
- An analysis of the processes used by the three leaders. Identify the processes that the leaders and top management team (TMT) are using to impact the organization. Use the table below to organize your answers (you can copy the table from this browser window and paste it into your Word document). Please enter into each cell in the table how that leader is using that particular influence method (if applicable).
