Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Power that comes from respect, liking, and trust is known as referent power. This type of power is based on the leader’s personality, behavior, and reputation. It is often the result of the leader's charisma or likability, and people are more likely to follow someone with referent power because they want to emulate them or be like them. It is different from legitimate power (based on formal authority), reward power (based on the ability to provide incentives), and connection power (based on access to valuable networks).
