Without power there is no leadership. This statement may sound fallacious to some, but after diving into the leader personality and power research and studies, the five types of power define the definition of leadership. The five types of leader power are broken up into two categories: position and personal. Position power encompasses three of the five types of leader power; they are legitimate, reward, and coercive.
