Which power bases lie within the individual? Which are derived from the organization? Review political skill, political savvy, and networking in the textbook. How is each related to power in organizations?

Response: Power Bases that can lie with an individual are personal power, expert power, and referent power. Personal power can be seen used in interpersonal relationships. (Uhl-Bien et al, 2021). Expert power is usually shown the performance and knowledge of the individual. Referent power is when others are altering themselves to try to identify with your power. All of these individual powers can be seen through someone's words, actions, and relationships. Powers derived from an organization are position power, coercive power, legitimate power. Position power is associated with the person position in the company and relation to hierarchy. Coercive power is power or influence that is through discipline or punishment. Legitimate power is the ability to use power based on one's position in the organization through legitimate ways. Political skill uses the ability to navigate conflicts and influence others. Political savvy is the ability to read and understand a situation and a political and organizational climate. Networking is connecting, building, and maintaining relationships in different areas. All of these things are useful in an organizational culture because they help use different powers.
