Then, apply the six types of power as discussed in the module resources to the Netflix case study, which you read about last week. Coercive Power Legitimate Power Reward Power Referent Power Expert Power Multidimensional Power Consider the types of power that Sharon Slade, the chief human resources officer (CHRO) at Netflix, has in this situation. In your initial post, first describe the six types of power Sharon possesses. Then, provide examples that show how Sharon may exhibit this type of power during the negotiations. Finally, provide a reason why this type of power is important in this setting. Use the example below as a guide. Example—Official (positional) power: This is the power that comes from the title/position. For example, Sharon has authority in human resource matters, as defined by the scope of her role as the CHRO. She can draw on her knowledge of the company's policies and the law during the negotiations to drive a fair bargain. Then, review at least two of your classmates' posts. In your replies, share (if possible) an example of a leader for whom you have worked that exhibited one or more types of power. Include your thoughts about the effectiveness of this type of power in a work setting. You can use the feedback on your post as you craft Part B of Section I: Summary for Milestone One and your final project. To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric document.
