Coercive Leadership
(French and Raven 1959)
Understanding Power
They identified five bases of power:
Legitimate – This comes from the belief that a person has the formal right to make
demands, and to expect compliance and obedience from others.
Reward – This results from one person's ability to compensate another for compliance.
Expert – This is based on a person's superior skill and knowledge.
Referent – This is the result of a person's perceived attractiveness, worthiness, and
right to respect from others.
Coercive – This comes from the belief that a person can punish others for
noncompliance.
If you're aware of these sources of power, you can…
Better understand why you're influenced by someone, and decide whether you want to accept the base of power being used.
Recognize your own sources of power.
Build your leadership skills by using and developing your own sources of power, appropriately, and for best effect.
D1: Evaluate the team’s overall effectiveness in meeting its’ objectives, making recommendations for improvements
Write a formal report to your Programme Manager
that
evaluates the team’s performance. It should include:
The objectives the team was set and how they were met
How the team organised itself – make judgements on whether this helped the team be effective or not
Was the team and its leadership effective? How did individuals in the team contribute to the success?
Make recommendations (with justified reasons) for ways your team could improve in the future
To complete this task you may need to refer to the effectiveness (or not of) other teams. When commentating on team members, ideally use their Belbin characteristics as opposed to their names.
