This research paper reviews our knowledge of power to
date and places it into several conceptual categories by
providing tentative answers to the following three --
questions:
1. Why are the dynamics of power necessarily an important
part of managerial processes?
2. How do effective commanders acquire power?
3. How and for what purposes do effective commanders use
power?
The following are the key conclusions drawn from this
literature review:
1. Commanders are dependent on subordinates and others
to accomplish their tasks, and power is the fuel that
generates their results.
2. Effective commanders are very sensitive to developing
all their sources of power.
3. They use their power for the good of the whole organization
rather than for personal aggrandizement.
