Essay Question on "French and Raven's Five Forms of Power" https://www.mindtools.com/abwzix3/french-and-ravens-five-forms-of-power

Go through each of the power bases and write down when and how you've used that source of power in the past.

Ask yourself if you used the power appropriately, consider the expected and unexpected consequences of it, and decide what you'll do differently next time.

Think about the people who have power and influence over you. What sources of power do they use? Do they use their power appropriately? Where necessary, develop a strategy to reduce someone else's use of illegitimate power over you.

When you feel powerless or overly influenced, stop and think about what you can do to regain your own power and control. After all: you're never without power. Make an effort to be more aware of the power you have, and use it to get what you need, confidently and effectively.
