A leader is one who genuinely hold a control over some of the attitudes, actions and behaviors of a group of people. There is no leader without followers. Leadership is the ability of a leader to guide and direct his followers towards the accomplishment of the goal for which they have come together. A good manager in an organization needs to be good leader to extract the best from their subordinates. Here we are going to see six different sources of power for a leader, like, legitimate, reward, coercive, expert, information and referent power. But it is also to be noted that a good leader never depends fully on a single source, he needs to use different combinations of sources according to situations.
Legitimate power
this is the power derived from one's hierarchical or formal position in the organization,ie, this power is designated by the virtue of his position in the organization. Sometime it can be based on law too. It is the authority given by the organization to an individual to exercise his power by default.
Attributes
Reward power
This is the power derived from one's ability to reward or withhold reward for compliance or noncompliance with rules and regulations.
Attributes
Information power
this power is derived from an individuals' ability to access information whenever they wnt in an organization. People with this power will have control over the information and only with their permission others will get access to it.
Attributes
Coercive power
As the nake suggests this involves the use of force, based on the subordinates fear of the leader. Here power is executed by the use of threats and fear of punishments
Attributes
Expert power
This power come from an individuals expertism or mastery in a particular field. Sometime this could be a perception by the subordinates too. Here the leader can influence his subordinates using his expertism in a particular field
Attributes
Referent power
this is purely a personal power which is highly individualistic. This is derived from the personal characteristics of the leader, an individual who plays a reference model to many followers
Attributes
I feel that the best leader is a person who can make use of all these forces according to the situation. There is no exact borderline to a leader skills, he/she should be person with multiple skills who clearly knows the pulse of his subordinates, knows to analyze the situation and understand the demands of the situation. According use his powers to guide and direct his subordinates. Adhering to one style and depending on one source of power is the sign of a good leader, say for example, if his subordinates are not that educated and cannot take decisions on their on, some time using expert and coercion as a source is demanded. A good leader is always situational and the style and source depends on the characteristics of the followers.
