For this assignment, you are asked to review and respond to two case studies. The intention of the two case studies is to bring together your awareness and understanding of motivation and managing with the use of power. Conduct research on the subject matter and provide at least three scholarly resources as references with corresponding citations meeting APA standards.
Everyone wants power. Why do we want power? Because it is good for us. It gives us more control over our own lives. It gives us more freedom to do as we wish. There are few things worse in life than feeling helpless, and few better than feeling in charge of your destiny. In general, people with power and status appear to command more respect from others, have higher self-esteem, and enjoy life more than those with less stature.
Watch how “How to Win Power and Influence People” may be an important skill.
