Abstract
In today''s large and complex organizations, the effective performance of most managerial jobs requires one to be skilled at the acquisition and use of power. It is primarily because of the dependence on others inherent in managerial jobs that the dynamics of power necessarily form an important part of a manager''s processes. To help cope with dependency relationships, effective managers create, increase, or maintain different types of power over others.
