From the Paper:

"A leader has several types of power at their disposal within the organization and power within themselves. "Power can be seen as power with rather than power over, and it can be used for competence and cooperation, rather than dominance and control" Anne L. Barstow. The first being reward power or the ability to provide rewards for a job well done. The next is coercive power or the ability to punish for an unacceptable performance. The last type of power that a leader has with in an organization is legitimate power or their actual position that gives them the right to have authority. A leaders degree of power in the organization is given with the status of his position. A manager will use these powers at different times depending on the details of the situation."
