The Relational View of Power is the process where people hold certain power during the process of communication. An individual will have power through the various resources that they use in order to persuade the other people or convince them to move from their path towards their goal. During the conflict between the two people endorsement of power plays a very important role in making the other individual realize how much power he/she holds which is their assets. Example of power endorsement in a conflict scenario is when a person tells the other person about the association that they have which will guide them.
