Using the five sources of your power at work

在工作中利用好你的五種資源

Every employee has five sources of power to draw from. Assess your potential power sources and use them to your advantage.

每個雇員都有五種可以利用的權(quán)力資源。估量自己潛在的權(quán)力資源并善用之。

1. Personal power is all about your charisma, your passion to achieve the strength of your convictions, your ability to communicate and inspire, and your leadership skills.

1．個人權(quán)力 就是你的魅力、你實(shí)現(xiàn)你的信念的激情、你與他人溝通和給人以激勵的能力，以及你的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能。

2. Rela-tionship power derives from the network of contacts and friends that you make, develop, and maintain at work; from coworkers who keep you up to date with the goings-on in their part of the organization, to executives who seek you out for special projects—and everyone in between.

2．人際關(guān)系權(quán)力 來自你在工作中所建立、培養(yǎng)和保持的關(guān)系網(wǎng)和朋友圈；來自公司內(nèi)其他部門的同事--使你及時(shí)了解他們部門的情況；來自公司主管--將特殊項(xiàng)目交由你負(fù)責(zé)；來自公司內(nèi)其他人等。

3. Position power is directly related to where you reside on your company's organizational chart. Owners, presidents, and CEOs have plenty of position power, while receptionists, clerks, and laborers typically have little or none.

3．職位權(quán)力 直接與你在公司組織結(jié)構(gòu)中的地位有關(guān)。公司業(yè)主、總裁和首席執(zhí)行官，有很大的職位權(quán)力，而接待員、辦事員或勤雜人員一般沒有什么職位權(quán)力。

4. Knowledge power is based on the special expertise and knowledge that you have of your job, your departments, or your organization.

4．知識權(quán)力 是你對你的具體工作、你所在部門、機(jī)構(gòu)的某種特殊專長或知識。

5. Task power is inherent in the jobs you are assigned at work. Some work is by nature more important to the health of the organization than others. For example, salespeople, whose job is to bring in money by selling its products or services, usually have high task power.

5．任務(wù)權(quán)力 存在于分配給你的工作任務(wù)中，有些工作其本質(zhì)上較其他工作對公司的健康發(fā)展更為重要。比如說，銷售人員，其工作是通過銷售產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)來為公司賺取利潤，他們通常有較高的任務(wù)權(quán)力。

You can leverage any source of power you have to build your base of power in another source.

你可以利用你擁有的任何一種權(quán)力資源來建立、充實(shí)你另一權(quán)力資源。
