They have high power owing to how they influence the organisation leadership teams. For example, power is evident on how they withhold budget allocated when leaders accountability is lower.
High Power; High Interest- These are the PS&M teams, manufacturing entities, clients and end-users of HWE offered products. They leverage on immense power for leadership since their success is based on successful implementation of functions.
