Alright, alright, let's keep it professional here. The answer is clearly C) Legitimate power. I'm just glad we're not talking about 'coercive power' - that's the one where you threaten to take away someone's kneecaps if they don't cooperate.

Haha, Lasandra is on the right track! Legitimate power is like being the boss - you can make people do things just because you said so. Not as fun as having a horse's head in their bed, but it gets the job done!

Wait, isn't legitimate power the one where your subordinates have to do what you say or else you'll 'make them an offer they can't refuse'? I may have been watching too many mob movies...

That's true. Expert power comes from knowledge and skills, while legitimate power comes from position.

I think it's important to remember that legitimate power is different from expert power.

Hmm, this seems to be a question about the different sources of power. The description sounds like it's referring to legitimate power, which is based on a person's formal authority or status.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be D) Expert power because expertise can also lead to authority.
