Your text describes 5 sources of power from which leaders draw their power to influence others: Legitimate, Coercive, Reward. Expert, and Referent. Using an example of a leader you have worked for, or know or are aware of, use examples to describe situations when that leader relied on each source of power to influence others, and discuss how the use of that power affected the level of trust that you or others had in that leader or the organization. NOTES: You may have to rely on more than one leader to identify an example of the use of each power source. Keep you examples brief and concise. The objective is to demonstrate your understanding of circumstances when each source of power could be used, and actions that demonstrate the use of each source of power. You can discuss the effect on trust when you provide the example, or if you prefer, you may discuss the effect on trust after the providing all of your examples.
