Welcome to this weeks show.

So what is positional power and is it still the driving force of organisations?

The idea of authority derived from rank is a very well established concept of management. We would all be able to think of a direct command and control organisation, the military springs to mind, with ranks and authority driven position. 

I bet Most people can recall a job where the boss was the head, he or she would make the decisions and everyone would follow without question. This idea of a position power is something that has slowly become less of a main stay way of managing. 

When should you use your power and when should you be aware of over using it.
