Referent power is the ability to influence others based on your personal connections, relationships, and likability. In this scenario, the members of the group are doing things for the person because of their strong positive relationships, which means the person has referent power in the group. The other types of power (informational, coercive, expert, and legitimate) do not fit the scenario as well.
