a

Answer to Question 2

1. Position power - The power that comes from your managerial position as a supervisor. Anyone in your job as a manager has the same power. It gives you authority to require certain behavior from your workers. You must be careful, however, not to overuse this source.
2. Knowledge power - The power that comes from having technical knowledge, expertise, and ex-perience pertaining to the tasks that their followers are responsible for doing.
3. Character or Personality power - The power that comes when you demonstrate a strong sense of self-esteem, self-confidence, and honesty. Some might refer to this as personality power be-cause of the outward manifestations of inner qualities to which followers are attracted. Others might refer to this as character power because it is only through these inner qualities, such as in-tegrity, honesty, ethical frameworks, fairness, and other qualities, that produce the personality traits to which followers are attracted. Either way, the source of power in this instance relates to intrinsic qualities of the leader rather than more external qualities such as knowledge and posi-tion power.
