Authority and power are usually not conceptually distinct, but for clarification, they are considered extremes on a control continuum.
Power is conceptualized as influence and social control, the former reducing and latter reinforcing authority. These constructs permit reexamination of authority and leadership. The Academy of Management Review, now in its 26th year, is the most cited of management references.
AMR ranks as one of the most influential business journals, publishing academically rigorous, conceptual papers that advance the science and practice of management. AMR is a theory development journal for management and organization scholars around the world. AMR publishes novel, insightful and carefully crafted conceptual articles that challenge conventional wisdom concerning all aspects of organizations and their role in society.
This political institution encompasses all the means and processes by which a society maintains order. Consequently, power is necessary for authority, but it is possible to have power without authority. In other words, power is necessary but not sufficient for authority. Despite the differences between government systems in the Middle East and the United States, their governments play the same fundamental role: in some fashion, they exert control over the people they govern.
The nature of that control—what we will define as power and authority—is an important feature of society. Sociologists have a distinctive approach to studying governmental power and authority that differs from the perspective of political scientists. For the most part, political scientists focus on studying how power is distributed in different types of political systems. Sociologists, however, tend to be more interested in the influences of governmental power on society and in how social conflicts arise from the distribution of power.
Sociologists also examine how the use of power affects local, state, national, and global agendas, which in turn affect people differently based on status, class, and socioeconomic standing.

Pittacus c. Indeed, the concept of power can have decidedly negative connotations, and the term itself is difficult to define.
Power affects more than personal relationships; it shapes larger dynamics like social groups, professional organizations, and governments. A dominant nation, for instance, will often use its clout to influence or support other governments or to seize control of other nation states. Efforts by the U. Figure 2. Young people and students were among the most ardent supporters of democratic reform in the recent Arab Spring.
Social media also played an important role in rallying grassroots support. Endeavors to gain power and influence do not necessarily lead to violence, exploitation, or abuse. One way to further increase your personal power is to seek additional responsibility. To be a successful leader, you must always be yourself.
Be intentional about shaping your life according to your values and priorities. Trust yourself, believe in yourself, and be honest with yourself. Others will then trust, believe, and be honest with you. It is this foundation which enhances personal power.
Excellent team leaders establish healthy open relationships with others. They foster mutual commitment in the pursuit of shared goals.
