power

is the ability of one person to influence what another person thinks or does, you have power over another person to the extent that you can influence what this person thinks of what this person does.
It is asymmetrical, if one person has greater power, the other person must have less
-some people are born into power, and some of those who are not born powerful learn to become powerful, some people exert power in certain areas of life, some in others, power bear a close relationship to interpersonal violence

interaction management

refers to the techniques and strategies by which you regulate and carry on interpersonal interactions, effective interaction management results in an interaction that's satisfying to both parties, neither person feels ignored or on stage; each contributes to, benefits from and enjoys the interpersonal exchange.

referent power

If you can establish this type of power over others and make others wish to be like you or to be identified with you, you'll more easily gain their compliance. This is the kind of power that an older brother may have over a younger brother, because the younger brother wants to be like him. This type of power depends greatly on attractiveness and prestige, as they increase, so does identification and consequently your power to gain compliance.

legitimate power

This type of power is when others believe you have the right, by virtue of your position, to influence or control their behavior-they logically will be ready to comply with your requests, this stems from the belief that certain people should have power over us, that they have a right to influence us because of who they are. Teachers are often perceived to have legitimate power, as well as parents over their children.

expert power

You have this type of power when you are perceived as having expertise or knowledge, your knowledge is perceived by others gives you expert power. This is normally subject specific, your expert power increases when you're seen as unbiased and as having nothing to gain personally from influencing others. It decreases when you're seen as biased or as having something to gain from influencing others.

Information Power or Persuasion Power

You have this type of power when are seen as having the ability to communication logically and persuasively. If others believe that you have persuasive ability, then you have persuasion power-the power to influence other's attitudes and behaviors. If you're seen as possessing significant information and the ability to use that information to gain compliance by presenting a well-reasoned argument, then you have information power.

Reward Power

You have this type of power if you have the ability to reward people, rewards may be materialistic, money, corner office, or social, love, friendship. If you're able to grant others some kind of reward, you have control over them to the extent that they want what you can give them.

Coercive Power

This is when you have the ability to gain compliance by administering punishments or removing rewards if others fail to yield your influence, usually if you have a reward power, you also have coercive power. This type of power depends on two factors; 1) the magnitude of the punishment that can be administered and 2) the likelihood that the punishment will be administered as a result of noncompliance

attractiveness

If you have reward power, you're likely to be seen as more attractive, coercive power on the other hand, decreases attractiveness; people dislike those who have the power to punish them or who threaten them with punishment-whether they actually follow through or not

costs

When you use rewards to exert power, you don't incur the same costs as when you use punishment. When you exert reward power, you're dealing with a contented and happy individual. When you use coercive punishments however, you must be prepared to incur anger and hostility, which may well be turned against you in the future.

Effectiveness

When you give a reward, it signals that you effectively exercised power and that you gained the compliance of the other person. You give the reward because the person did what you wanted. In the exercise of coercive power, the reverse is true. You have administered this punishment because it shows that you have an ineffective threat of power and there has been no compliance.

effects on the power bases

When you exert coercive power, often bases of power frequently are diminished. There seems to be a boomerang effect in operation. People who exercise coercive power are seen as possessing less expert, legitimate, and referent power. Alternatively when reward power is exerted, other bases of power increase.

credibility

that you are seen to posses, the degree to which other people regard you as believable and therefor worth following. If others see you as competent and knowledgeable, of good character, and charismatic and dynamic, they will find you to be credible.

competence

your perceived competence is the knowledge and expertise that others see you as possessing; this is similar to expert and information power. The more knowledge and expertise others see you as having the more likely they will believe you

character

people will see you as credible if they perceive you as being someone of high moral character, someone who is honest and someone they can trust, if others feel that your intentions are good for them, they'll think your credible and they'll believe you

charisma

1)Express your expertise when appropriate
2)Stress your fairness
3)Express concern for others
4)Stress your concern for enduring values

slang and vulgar expressions
