Introduction

Welcome to Power Perception Profile.

The concepts of leadership and power have generated lively interest, debate, and occasionally confusion throughout the evolution of management thought. Leadership is typically defined as the process of influencing the activities of an individual or a group in efforts towards goal accomplishment. Power is well described as the leader's influence potential: it is the resource that enables a leader to induce compliance from or influence followers.

Power Perception Profile

Given this integral relationship between leadership and power, leaders must not only assess their leadership behavior in order to understand how they actually influence other people; they also must examine their possession and use of power.

The Power Perception Profile instrument is designed to provide information about your use of various types of power as the basis of your attempts to influence others. Its purpose is to integrate the concept of power with Situational Leadership? by showing how the perception of leader's power bases can affect the utilization of various leadership styles.
