Influence Tactics and Sources of Power For the Session Long Project this session you will be applying the concepts from the background materials to your own personal experiences in the workplace. You likely have experienced many if not all of the concepts at one point or another in your career, but you may not have been familiar with the precise terminology. In preparation for the SLP, make sure you have a thorough grasp of the terminology from the background materials including the main sources of power and types of power tactics. Once you are comfortable with the terminology and concepts from the background materials, think of a manager that you worked with closely who held a fair amount of power at the organization you worked for. Then write a 2- to 3-page paper addressing each of the following questions. For each answer, make sure to cite at least one reference from the required background readings. What were this      manager’s main sources of power? Include a discussion of reward power,      legitimate power, and expert power as well as other sources of power      discussed in the background readings. Discuss some      influence tactics used by this manager. Include a discussion about whether      or not this manager used the influence tactics discussed in Anderson      (1998) and Luthans et al. (2015) from the background materials. Did this manager      make good use of their sources of power and influence tactics, or did they      misuse or abuse their power? SLP Assignment Expectations Follow the      assignment instructions closely and follow all steps listed in the      instructions. Stay focused on      the precise assignment questions; don’t go off on tangents or devote a lot      of space to summarizing general background materials. Make sure to      cite readings from the background materials page. Rely primarily on the      required background readings as your sources of information. Include both a      bibliography and in-text citations. See the Student Guide to Writing a      High-Quality Academic Paper, including pages 11-14 on in-text      citations.
