Cross-stitch

The answer is 'cross-functional'.
The term 'cross-functional' is used in your learning objectives and assessment criteria. You may wish to be clear as to what a cross-functional team is, and what its benefits are. 'Cross-organisational' would mean across separate organisations, which is not what the QUESTION NO : is asking about.

QUESTION: 44

`The power of an individual to persuade others may come from perceived attractiveness and right to be given respect' Which of French and Raven's categorisations applies here?

Legitimate
Coercive
Referent
Reward

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The answer is 'referent power'.
An example might be a long-standing employee who 'knows the ropes' and helps others. Or it may be a famous person whose fame gives them power.
In some sources this may be known as 'charisma power'.

For me a great example of this form of power is Bill Clinton, who combined his allegedly substan-tial charisma, along with legitimate power and informational power. Presumably as US President, he also had access to coercive power as well as reward power. A powerful guy in a powerful position. People who have dealt with him long after he ceased to be the President say that his referent / cha-risma power lives on, hugely.
