Reward Power

Reward power is a type of influence leaders have that comes from their ability to provide rewards to others. This can include promotions, bonuses, praise, or any form of recognition that others value. When a leader effectively uses reward power, they motivate and encourage their team members to perform well and achieve goals. Essentially, it relies on the idea that people are more likely to work hard and stay engaged when they feel appreciated and see the potential for rewards based on their efforts. It’s a way to foster commitment and drive within a team.
