I've got the Power

Power can be demonstrated in many different ways, though the base of power is the physical capability to carry out an action, with the ability to carry it to an end result, leaders can interpret that to different extents. 

There are three types of power: 

1. coercive power- threat force, usually based on fear.

2. exchange power- bartering

3. integrative power- respected, non violence. 

In The Tempest by William Shakespeare these three types of power are demonstrated by Sebastian, Stephano, and Gonzalo.

Sebastian's idea of ruling demonstrates coercive power, for he feels that killing is the only way to get to the top. This may give him power through fear, but this way of ruling will not give him authority. Stephano represents exchange power, because he is the only one with access to wine. Making wine be his barter for power. Problem with this is once the wine supply is gone his power will to. He won't receive authority because no one will respect his ways, they'll just be waiting till the supply runs out. Gonzalo demonstrates integrative power, though his idea is a Utopian society which is unrealistic, he still cares about respect, and humility. This way of power will give him authority because he cares about the people he is ruling rather than bribing, and terrifying them. This way of power will be more successful, and last longer, because the people will feel significant.
