Power is Controlling access to what others want
Five Powers • Coercive Power controls access to pleasure (usually by means of deprivation) • Formal Power controls access to the community’s resources • Affiliative Power controls access to membership and status with the community • Knowledge Power controls access to information • Charismatic Power controls another's access to meaning, purposefulness & hope

Power vs Intimacy Intimacy is the state of voluntary interdependence • Intimacy is choosing to be in relationship based on contribution • Intimacy assumes individuation and personal well-being (not based dependence) • Intimacy is genuine expression (not loss of self in relationship) • Intimacy accepts/insists on diversity (rather than assimilation) • Intimacy involves loneliness as discover uniqueness and fully understanding another’s • Intimacy is a prerequisite to genuine learning
Building Interdependence in an Org In a time of transition to a networked org: • Using Power & Intimacy Up the Org: • Know how the formal process works: who makes what decisions in what meetings and when • Be able to access the decision channel through your regular meeting structure • Using Power & Intimacy Down the Org: • Admit dependency and make expectations clear • Require participation in the leader’s authority • Institute consultative decision-making
