A person in power has the authority and control over the peopleat departmental, group or the whole organization. In my previousjob, I worked as an office secretary. The chain of command was fromthe Chief executive officer to other managers. However, in my case,the head of the department had the authority to delegate duties andmake prompt follow up over us.   One notable concernwhile working as an office secretary was the departmental politicsand the politics between the technical manager and operationsmanager. Ideally, an impact in the behavior evident with thiscoercive power type (Fleming, & Spicer, 2014). The clashbetween duties between the technical manager and operations managerwas often. The conflict between the two leaders was based on powersuperiority. Each leader was superior to the other. An impact wasfelt in the organization as each leader had his group to work withleading to conflicts when delegating duties. From my perspective,the power conflict was destructive as there was the divisionbetween groups of people. It led to a feeling among some employeeswho believed to control crucial tasks within the organization. Thefeeling of superiority among departments was created.
