Expert power is the ability to influence others based on one's knowledge or skills in a particular area. When other members of a group value the knowledge or expertise of a person, that person is said to have expert power. Reward power refers to the ability to give positive consequences or rewards to influence behavior, punishment power is the ability to give negative consequences or punishment to influence behavior, and referent power is the ability to influence others based on one's personal characteristics or relationship with others.
