Mark Cuban is used to getting his own way, and he wants to be famous and influential as he attempts to reorder the landscape of professional sports and entertainment.

He has position power as an owner of multiple businesses. He has personal net worth of over $4B dollars.

As a business owner, Cuban has legitimate power. He rewards his employees for doing a good job. He has used coercive power (he fired the Mavericks coach), he has some referent power, and he is viewed as an expert in business.

He also has information power and has connections with some influential people. He is an active member of the evaluation team on the television show Shark Tank.

On the dark side, Cuban's behavior has cost him money and respect. Cuban is not your typical pro-sports team owner who watches the games from the owner's box. He sits next to the Mavericks team bench and yells at the players. He has gone out on the court during games and listens in on team huddles. Cuban has stormed into the locker room and cursed out the players when they lost. He has berated the referees, which has led to fines and problems with the NBA.
