Leadership and Power discusses the relationship between leadership and power. It identifies three ways individuals can exercise power to ascend to leadership positions: persuasive power, erudite power, and positional power. The document also outlines seven bases of power leaders can utilize, including power of position, charisma, relationships, information, expertise, punishment, and reward. Finally, it provides tips for how leaders can effectively leverage power, such as making relationships a priority, maximizing communication networks, and tailoring power to reward others.

Where do you begin in order to gauge your leadership influence with others? This workshop presents a concept called "Impact On Business" which translates to your Leadership Effect.
This presentation builds the business case for why embracing feminine values and traits in leadership for both men and women can help bring about innovation and change, both culturally and externally.
From the European SharePoint, Office 365, and Azure Conference - Karuana and Heather will discuss how showing respect, empathy, and kindness to those you work with builds trust across your team.

Learning Objective: Examine methods for helping female employees grow and develop into new leaders
Change and development strategies can be difficult for some people. Executives are not effective until they are able to think strategically or lead change in their organization. That’s why vertical leadership will support women and advance strategic thinking. As managers learn and progress, the way that they think about processes will expand their competencies. Organizations should be asking questions such as “Do our female leaders possess the skills they need to think strategically?” The good news is that there is a way to move forward and up, helping organizations to grow and focus on their leadership programs.
At the end of this seminar, participants will:
a. Understand and define what “vertical development in leadership” is.
b. Focus more on strategic development thinking in female employees.
c. Make the development and the work inseparable.
d. Create strong developmental networks at work.
e. Make female leadership development a process, not an event.

This was part four in a webinar series on "Leadership Development: A Balanced Approach." The webinar series was designed for professionals in Virginia Cooperative Extension.
Chapter 8:
Organization Leadership
Introduction
Great leaders exist in business, politics, the military, and even sports
Leadership can be used for good and for evil
Communication is a tool used to activate messages to followers
Leadership is a socially constructed phenomenon
Case Study: Charismatic Preacher
Reverend Jim Jones was a charismatic, influential preacher who led rapidly growing congregations throughout California
People were so inspired, that they donated their entire worldly possessions, traveled to South America, and built a community
Several years later, the Reverend leads a mass suicide of 909 people in his town of Jonestown, Guyana
Why would people be so committed to him that they would participate in a mass suicide?
What does this say about leadership?
Trait Approach to Leadership
If a person has certain traits, they will be a more effective leader
Big Five personality traits with leadership potential include:
Extraversion
Conscientiousness
Openness to experience
Ambition
Energy
The trait approach to leadership seems to be best able to predict leader emergence rather than leader effectiveness
There is a difference between possessing a trait and being perceived to possess a trait
4
Leadership Behaviors
The behavioral approach to leadership examines what leaders actually do and the behaviors leaders use to achieve their goals
It’s a matter of what you do (behavior theory), rather than who you are (trait theory) as a leader
Critical Thinking Questions – Traits and Behaviors
How does the perspective that leadership is something you do versus something you are change the responsibilities of a leader?
The University of Michigan and Ohio State Studies
Initiating Structure
Extent to which a leader defines and structures the roles of employees in the goal attainment effort
Production-oriented leaders have behavior similar to initiating structure
Consideration
Leader respects employees’ thoughts, ideas, and feelings, expresses appreciation and support, and develops an environment of mutual trust
Employee-oriented leaders also value consideration
Managerial Grid
Contingent Approaches to Leadership
Questions examined by contingency theorists include:
What are the situational factors that actually matter in leadership?
To what leadership styles do they best connect?
Least Preferred Co-Worker
Fiedler (1967) developed Least preferred co-worker (LPC) questionnaire
Rating “least” preferred coworker harshly = task-oriented leader
Rating “least” preferred coworker benevolently = relationship-oriented
Once individual leadership style is assessed, the situation is determined through three dimensions: 1) Leader-member relations 2) Task structure 3) Position power
Critical Thinking Questions – Least Preferred
Why does the way a person treats the least preferred co-worker likely say the most about their style of leadership?

Persuasive Power: Usually the result of the ability to connect with others and through this persuade their actions. This is a reflection of charisma, or ability to draw people in.
Erudite Power: Gained through extensive knowledge of an area of expertise. People drawn to this type of leader because they are seemed an expert of their field.
Positional Power: Based on the ability to control others by virtue of hierarchical order. This can be observed in any employment situation where there are levels of employees.

1. Character: The ability to manage the demands of being a leader, maintaining integrity, honesty, and selflessness at all times.
2. Courage: Courageous individuals take calculated risks, being prepared to either have a positive or negative outcome.
3. Commitment: This is the will and strength to keep moving ahead in spite of set backs
4. Cautious Attentiveness: All the available facts are needed before making decisions to ensure all options are looked at.
5. Connectability: Having the ability to understand and connect with others is a key component in forming positive interpersonal relationships. This can also expand the sphere of influence, access to resources, and the capacity to make things happen.
6. Contribution to the Welfare of Others: Having the willingness to serve others and to put their needs and desires before your own is reflected in the attitude and actions of a good leader.
7. Creative Perception: A leader must be able to clearly articulate their vision in order to inspire and motivate others.
(Hughes, 2010)
Make relationships a priority: Seek to understand others better and acknowledge the needs of others in order to build the social capital required to influence others now and in the future. Repair damaged relationships and the image others may have of you. Look for ways to reestablish trust with others through face-to-face interaction and the sharing of honest feedback.
Don’t overplay your personal agenda: Leaders will need to be aware of these negative perceptions if they are to effectively leverage the power of relationships. Be careful to ensure that advancing your own agenda is not perceived as a misuse of power.
Maximize your communication network: Look to expand your communication network to find people who may be untapped sources of information.
Be generous with information: If you are a central node or conduit of information, remember that keeping information to yourself has potential negative consequences. Share information broadly and with integrity. Of course, you don’t want to make the opposite mistake and reveal confidential or personal information.
Make the most of your position: find subtle ways to communicate your formal authority. You might include your title on your e-mail signature, communicate in meetings where you normally keep quiet, or modify your style of dress so that you resemble people at the level above you. Meanwhile, expand your use of other sources of power.
Develop your brand of charisma: The key to better leveraging the power of charisma (whatever your level of charisma may be) is to make small changes in your image while maintaining your authenticity. Maintain the characteristics that make you who you are, but try to identify two or three behaviors that might increase your ability to connect with others (such as making more eye contact, smiling more often).
Be the expert: it comes from actual expertise (such as an advanced degree or relevant experience) or the perception of expertise. Don’t be shy about putting your credentials on your business cards or on your e-mail signature, or talking about your experience and expertise.
Tailor your power to reward others: Ask your team members what they would find rewarding. Some team members may find a group picnic or outing highly rewarding. Others may find such an event tedious or tiring. Time off or flexibility of hours might work for some employees; others may not even take notice. Whatever their incentive, don’t make the mistake of assuming that one reward fits all.
Reward with words: during the course of a typical working relation- ship, it takes a ratio of 4:1 (4 positives for every negative) for a receiver of feedback to believe that the feedback has been fair. This does not mean that you have to give a team member four positive pieces of feedback every time you have a negative message to deliver. What it does suggest is that many of us have a long way to go in terms of acknowledging what our people are doing right.
Punish with purpose: When team members fail to live up to expectations, a good dose of corrective (but kind) feed- back can work wonders – not only to get the job done, but also to establish more power for yourself. Communicate and enforce your standards, but be sure to provide support along the way.
Teach others: If you want to empower the people you lead, you also need to teach them to use the power they have available to them.
