Explain the differences between position and personal power

 

Explain the differences between position power and personal power.
Position power is derived from top management and is delegated down the chain of command. Thus, people at the top of the organization have

more power than those at the bottom of the organization. Personal power is derived from the followers based on the leader’s behavior. All

managers have position power, but they may or may not have personal power. Nonmanagers do not have position power, but they may have

personal power.
