Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
a. Legitimate power  represents the power a leader has as a result of his or her position in the organization. People in positions of authority are also likely to have reward or coercive power, but legitimate power is broader than the power to coerce and reward.
b. Coercive power  the power that rests on the leader's ability to punish or control. Followers react to this power out of fear of the negative results that might occur if they did not comply. As a manager, you typically have some coercive power, such as being able to suspend or demote employees or to assign them work they find unpleasant or undesirable.
c. Reward power  the power to give positive benefits or rewards. These rewards can be anything that another person values. In an organizational context, that might include money, favorable performance appraisals, promotions, interesting work assignments, friendly colleagues, and preferred work shifts or sales territories.
d. Expert power  influence that's based on expertise, special skills, or knowledge. As jobs have become more specialized, managers have become increasingly dependent on staff experts to achieve the organization's goals. If an employee has skills, knowledge, or expertise that's critical to the operation of a work group, that person's expert power is enhanced.
e. Referent power  the power that arises because of a person's desirable resources or personal traits. Referent power develops out of admiration of another and a desire to be like that person. If you admire someone to the point of modeling your behavior and attitudes after him or her, that person has referent power over you.
