Welcome to ourmodule on Power Bases. In this session, we’ll dissect the various sources of power that influence leadership and decision-making within an organisation.
You’ll learn about the key types of power, including positional power, which stems from one's role or title; expert power, derived from specialised knowledge or skills; and relational power, built through relationships and networking. We’ll discuss how each type of power can be harnessed to motivate, guide, and influence others, and the impact they can have on achieving organisational goals.
Additionally, we’ll cover strategies for balancing these power sources to enhance leadership effectiveness and foster a positive work environment. By the end of this session, you’ll gain the knowledge you need to leverage different bases of power to strengthen your leadership approach, improve team collaboration, and drive better results within your organisation.
