Power Base Power base comes from knowledge, credibility, and ability to motivate other
Power base is a legitimate one, arising from the position of authority
Goals/Visions Goals and vision arise from personal interests and passion and may not be synonymous with the goals of the organization
Goals and vision are those espoused or prescribed by the organization
Innovative ideas Innovative ideas are developed, tested, and encouraged among all members of the group
Innovative ideas are allowed provided they don’t interfere with task accomplishment, but they are not necessarily encouraged
Risk Level High risk, creativity, and innovation are involved
Low risk, balance, and maintaining the status quo are involved
Degree of Order Relative disorder seems to be generated
Rationality and control prevail
Nature of Activities Activities are those related to vision and judgment
Activities are those related to efficiency and cost-effectiveness
