I used to think that a leader was powerful if she had a lot of
financial responsibility, or if he was directly responsible for a team
of hundreds of people. But there are different types of power, and some may be easier for you to obtain than others.
To briefly recap, in 1959, social psychologists John French and Bertram Raven identified five bases of power, legitimate, referent, reward, expert, and coercive. In my post on Fast Track, learn more about these and how you can use them to your advantage.
