Have you ever heard someone say, “It’s only business?” That is true to an extent. Businesses operate to make money, regardless of their categorization. It is important to make a connection between ethics and power as well as how diversity influences the workplace. Anderson and Bolt (2016) outline seven types of workplace power: legitimate, coercive, reward, connection, charismatic, information, and expert power. Each power has advantages and disadvantages. If the powers are abused, an organization is likely to experience positive or negative effects. Some argue that individual motives behind power can at times be questionable or political. For example, supervisors and managers typically have decision-making power. Having such power can involve a great deal of responsibility, while also be very rewarding. Most employees have some type of power, and one way to increase your power base is by gaining a wealth of knowledge. Knowledge is a form of power, and it can never be taken away as long as you refrain from unethical behavior. Make power work not only for your advantage but also for employing it into a competitive advantage.
