- Informational power - causing someone to change a course of thought or action based on providing/withholding information; information could be used for or against against stakeholders to manipulate or to convince them to act a certain way. - One might be served to use this when introducing any new procedure or program that is top-down. It could also involve a logical argument for how or why something is occurring. For example, when a new testing platform is introduced, information must be provided so that stakeholders understand and will buy into the new program. - One might not be served to use this when the leader is misinformed because it could undermine their authority and shatter any trust that has been developed. - On a day-to-day basis a combination of power types is likely optimal, and each appropriate power type is highly situational. As such, one should strive to display expert power (being knowledgeable in situations), legitimate power (earning power based on being in the role of administrator), and referent power (earning the trust/respect of others) on a daily basis. -- Thank you, *Jessica Orr* English Teacher Department Coordinator Chillicothe High School Phone: (740) 702-2287, ext. 16231 "You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say." --F.
