As stated earlier, film is a useful vehicle for studying leadership and various types of power that can be used to convince your peers and followers. Throughout the course, we will be talking about leadership and the role of power. Though the lessons we are learning extend beyond business to other types of professional endeavors and even to our home lives and friendships, the business world has helpfully placed many of these principles under the microscope for our benefit. Throughout the course, we will link to articles and videos from the business world that have a wider application to leadership philosophies.

We will start our discussion with The Seven Types of Power interactive - click the The Seven Types of Power Diagram (Links to an external site.). In the interactive, click the + markers to view each power type.

The Seven Types of Power Diagram (Links to an external site.) - plain text version.

Psychologists John French and Bertram Raven constructed the five main types of power shown in the interactive.
Vivian, G. (2013, July 31). "The 7 Types Of Power That Shape The Workplace. (Links to an external site.)" Business Insider. Retrieved from http://www.businessinsider.com/the-7-types-of-power-that-shape-the-workplace-2013-7

Next, please watch this video that illustrates these five main types of power: Coercive Power, Reward Power, Legitimate Power, Expert Power and Referent Power.*
*Remember that two other types of power not shown in the video come from information and connection; these two additional types of power come from the psychologist Nicole Lipkin.

Power & Influence: Types of Power (Links to an external site.) [Video, 5:46]

While the Foreman (Juror #1) in 12 Angry Men was technically the leader of the group, he accomplished little aside from tallying the votes. Juror #8 assumed the leadership role, but since he had no authority, his position as leader was tenuous. He led, but he did not dominate the discussion and often allowed others to assume other types of situational leadership roles.

First, select one particular juror who changes his mind during the film.
Please refer to the juror you selected in the subject line of your post (IMDb (Links to an external site.) can help you with their numbers http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050083/). By doing so, we can try to discuss several different jurors and not the same juror over and over.

Answer the following:

1. Why did your selected juror change his mind?
2. Which type of power was used to convince him, by whom, and how?
