Organizations need both strong leadership
and strong management for optima
effectiveness. While a good leader may tell
the organization where to go, it still takes
good managers to ensure they get there in
one piece.

Source of leadership power according to
French and Raven (1960):
Legitimate power comes solely from the position
the superiors holds in an organization
Reward power comes by means of promotion,
salary increases and interesting assignments
Expert power comes from the leader possessing
superior knowledge of the matter under discussion
Referent power comes from the fact that
subordinates identify with the leader and respect
him/her
Coercive power comes from forced actions and
potential for punishment
