Expert power comes from possessing specialized knowledge, skills, or competencies that others rely on. French and Raven (1959) identified this as one of the key forms of social power. In my work, expert power influences the way I approach tasks because I am often looked to as a subject-matter resource. This motivates me to stay current on best practices, be detail-oriented, and provide accurate guidance. My work style tends to be proactive and solution-focused since others expect that I can troubleshoot issues and provide reliable input. My positional authority enhances this power base because holding a formal role gives additional legitimacy to my expertise, making others more likely to trust and follow my recommendations. Referent power is based on personal traits, respect, and the ability to build strong interpersonal relationships (French & Raven, 1959). In my daily work, referent power influences how I collaborate with others. I place emphasis on active listening, empathy, and building rapport, which helps create an environment where people feel valued and motivated to contribute. My level of positional authority interacts with this power base by amplifying its impact, if I treat colleagues with respect and fairness, my role reinforces trust and loyalty. On the other hand, if I relied solely on authority without cultivating respect, my positional role could undermine this power base. These two power bases influence both task execution and workplace relationships. Exp
