Coercive Power I have seen used before in a larger company were you felt like a number because of the type of power. You had your chain of command if you were down at the bottom of the pole like a new hire it was very confusing at time, because you would have multiple bosses that sometimes felt they had the power. You would have one boss tell you what to do and another boss tells you another thing. Coercive Power management when used right can be effective, but if used wrong can be little an employee. If used right it gets everyone going in the right direction and keeps them on the right track. Legitimate power is when someone in authority complies with orders given to them because they believe that the position or title that the person holds gives him the right to use that power. I see this type of…
Power is the ability to influence people to perform in a specific way. The ambition of having power, has made humans influence other peoples’ lives and nature.

Power has always been a contested and controversial topic and is one of the most central concepts in the social sciences. With regard to the concept of power, the issue of domination and what domination is has also been widely debated. While most people would assume that domination is achieved by coercion or the overt threat of sanctions, a more interesting theory is that people consent to their own domination. This idea seems bizarre as when we think of domination we imagine a ruthless dictator dominating the masses through fear and violence or we think of an overbearing personality attempting to exert complete control over a weaker subordinate through threat and intimidation. What doesn’t come to mind when we think of domination is a person willingly allowing another to exert power over them and at the same time being completely oblivious to the fact that they are being dominated by some individual or group who has hidden from that individual there actual interests and replaced them with interests that favor themselves instead. The question then is how is willing compliance to domination secured?…
