Inherent to this unit is a recognition that power needs to be used responsibly and ethically as something that has the potential to bring about a change in attitudes, behaviours and beliefs Raven, 2008
French and Raven (1959;1965) identify six sources of power: 1. Coercive power that has a forceful and potentially punitive element 2. Reward power that has the ability to reward another for compliance 3. Legitimate power based on a belief that one has a formal right to make demands including an expectation that others will be compliant
4. Expert power based on a persons knowledge and skills 5. Referent power based on a perception (view) that the person is worthy of others respect 6. Informational power based on a person s ability to control information from others to achieve something
