[Ous-lp-rp13] Power Types

[Jessica Orr]

   - Informational power - causing someone to change a course of thought or
   action based on providing/withholding information; information could be
   used for or against against stakeholders to manipulate or to convince them
   to act a certain way.
      - One might be served to use this when introducing any new procedure
      or program that is top-down. It could also involve a logical argument for
      how or why something is occurring. For example, when a new
testing platform
      is introduced, information must be provided so that stakeholders
understand
      and will buy into the new program.
      - One might not be served to use this when the leader is misinformed
      because it could undermine their authority and shatter any trust that has
      been developed.
   - On a day-to-day basis a combination of power types is likely optimal,
   and each appropriate power type is highly situational. As such, one should
   strive to display expert power (being knowledgeable in situations),
   legitimate power (earning power based on being in the role of
   administrator), and referent power (earning the trust/respect of others) on
   a daily basis.
