Power and Influence (Chapter 6)
Trait Factor Theory
Influence depends upon the traits of the influencer and influenced and the nature of the influence itself. Attempts to exert power or influence over others are enhanced if one is credible and attractive.
Credibility includes: Expertise, Reliability, Confidence, Majority Opinion.
Attractiveness includes: Friendliness, Similar, Cooperative, Competent.
Dynamic Interdependence Theory (pages 216-220)
This theory is based upon the idea that power is an attribute of the relationship not just the traits of the individuals involved. This theory suggests that power exists when two persons share common goals and are mutually dependent upon each other to achieve these goals.
Bases Of Power (pages 226-229)

. how would you Explain a paragraph explaining what you have found?
This needs to reworded!!
The data table and plot show how long the small bureau took to respond. According to the graph and table, it takes an average of 9 days to answer. The graph is steep for the first 9 days, then it spreads. The highest day to respond was recorded at 9 days with a frequency of 16. It can be concluded that the graph is skewed-right so if the data set’s lower bounds are extremely low relative to the rest of the data, this will cause the data to skew right. Most of the outliers are present on the right side of the distribution.

Instructions
Submission of 20-page research on the synthesis and application-Synthesis combines paraphrased information, where the writer presents information from multiple sources. Synthesis and integration analyses involve summarizing the main points of the chosen resources and combining the summaries into a coherent narrative. This section begins with an introduction and includes an integrated synthesis of the resources related to the narrative of your problem statement. Support your assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation.
Obs: My problem statement is related to people’s lack of interest and commitment to dedicate themselves in serving others. Other issue is because people wait long for a servant leader and don’t make an effort to do their part. Other problem is that many time servant leaders are often overwhelmed and
are not valued. You can add other issues. Thank you!

This week we are discussing Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory, which addresses leadership as a process centered on the interactions between leaders and followers. It makes the leader–member relationship the pivotal concept in the leadership process. While other theories emphasize leadership from the point of view of the leader or the follower and context, leader–member exchange (LMX) theory conceptualizes leadership as a process that is centered on the interactions between leaders and followers.
Research into LMX theory has also focused on how exchanges between leaders and followers can be used for leadership development (Graen & Uhl-Bien, 1991). Leadership development emphasizes that leaders should develop high-quality exchanges with all of their followers rather than just a few. It attempts to make all followers feel as if they are a part of the in-group and, by so doing, avoids the inequities and negative implications of being in an out-group.
