Power Base and Leadership

The British historian of the late 19th century, (Acton, 1887) said that "power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely," suggesting that a person's sense of morality lessens as his or her power increases. Do you agree? Considering this idea, is it ethical for leaders to try to increase their power? Is all power the same or are there different power bases and different corresponding influence techniques? How does the use of power impact the leader-follower relationship?

Choose an organization and describe the power base(s) in that organization. What types of techniques do leaders use to influence team behavior in that organization? How does the leaders' approach affect team relationships? As a leader, how would you use power in your relationships with team members, and why?

Here is our shared scenario: Zelda is in trouble again. She is brought to the ED by police after a domestic dispute with her husband. Zelda has lacerations and suffered a hit to her head and is being brought to the ED for assessment and treatment. Zelda also has little red spots (rash) all over her arms which she says were due to a recent bout with Chicken Pox. Pictures of her injuries and rash were taken by the ED nurse as part of the department domestic violence policies. The pictures were placed in the patient’s medical record.

While helping Zelda get onto the stretcher, Zelda bites the police officer. The officer’s skin is broken and the officer is cared for by the ED staff. The ED Nurse submits an incident report to the hospital’s internal risk management reporting system. In addition, a hospital social worker comes to talk to Zelda about her safety at home.

After the biting incident, both Zelda and the police officer undergo testing for HIV and other blood borne pathogens. The police don’t pursue charges against Zelda and she is discharged that same day.
