A brief word from Power vs. Force* by David Hawkins
In 1959, French & Raven identified several types of power in their research:
1. Reward power- Giving something of value
- Knowledge, competence, and experience
- Personality and charisma to influence others
- We have the legitimate right to command given our position in the organization
In 1975, Raven & Kruglanski added to the list…
5. Connection power- Access to powerful people and organizations
- Access to information that other parties don’t have
In 1989, Liberatore et al. added…
7. Group decision-making power- The decisions an entire organization gets behind
Finally, in 1991, Yukl & Falbe identified…
8. Persuasive power- The ability to influence through logic and dialogue
A brief word about force
- Coercive “power” is also cited in the research

- Effective leaders have two directives when considering force:
- 1. Use it only as a last resort
- 2. To be certain, at least beyond a reasonable doubt, that it’s justified
