The five basic types of power are reward, coercive, legitimate, referent, and expert power. Formal leadership consists of influencing relevant others to voluntarily pursue organizational objectives. Informal leadership can work for or against the organization. Researchers who differentiated among authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire leadership styles concentrated on leader behavior rather than personality traits. Situational-leadership theorists believe there is no single best leadership style; rather, different situations require different styles. In contrast to transactional leaders who maintain the status quo, transformational leaders are visionary, charismatic leaders dedicated to change. Mentors help develop less experienced people by fulfilling career and psychosocial functions. Behavior modification (B. Mod.) is the practical application of Skinner’s operant conditioning principles. © 2013 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.
