There are twelve sources of power: six of them are positional and six are personal. We will discuss all twelve sources of power and how it pertains to participants both personally and professionally. Participants will explore their attitudes towards power and how much power they currently have. Participants will also consider what their sources of power are and how to gain the power they need to accomplish their goals personally and professionally.
