I bet X's performance reviews are just a bunch of emoticons - a smiley face for 'good job', and a frowny face for 'you're fired'. Simple, but effective.

Well, at least X isn't using the 'Do as I say or I'll take your stapler' power. That would be a whole different kind of 'coercive' feedback.

This is easy, folks. X is definitely using Feedback power to control his team. He's manipulating their performance reviews to keep them in line.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. It seems like X is trying to assert his Referent power by making the team members look up to him as the authority figure.

I think Reward power is a better fit. X can reward his team members with positive feedback and better performance reviews if they follow his orders.

Clearly, X is using Coercive power to force his team members to comply. He's got them by the throat with the threat of negative feedback.

No, X is not using reward power in this situation. It's more about punishment.
