Justify your reasoning.Assess the implications of Steve Jobs’ influence inside and outside the company.Utilizing your previous knowledge/experience with different organizations, compare Jobs with at least two other business leaders, analyzing the relationship between each leader’s power and influence inside and outside of their organizations.Analyze the Apple case within the political frame presented (The political frame is based on a variety of assumptions that affect leadership following this frame. Political leaders believe that managers and leaders live in a world of conflict and scarce resources. The central task of management is to assemble power and mobilize the resources needed to advocate and fight for the unit’s or the organization’s goals and objectives. Political leaders emphasize the importance of building a power base: allies, networks, and coalitions. A good leader is an advocate and negotiator who understands politics and is comfortable with conflict (Bolman & Deal, 2009, pp. 194–195).Power can be viewed from multiple perspectives. Under the political frame, power is connected to the relationship between two antagonists: partisans and authorities. Authorities being agents of social control, seek to maintain their position of power. Hence, they make binding decisions. Partisans, on the other side, are subject to authorities’ decisions (therefore recipients of control), and will support or question authority depending on how the decisions made by that other group affect their interests.Power can come from different sources, individually or from a combination of some of the following:Position of powerControl of rewardsCoercive powerInformation and expertiseReputationPersonal powerAlliances and networksAccess and control of agendaFraming, i.e., control of meaning and symbolsBolman, L., & Deal, T.
