Question

Members of a work team are in a meeting where the director of the department is present. At the end of the meeting, the presenter asks, "What are your reactions to my presentation?" The members of the work team look at the director and wait for his response. Which factors most likely determine a person's power in this organization?

Answer 1

His position in the organization's layout

Step-by-step explanation:

Everyone looked at him because he is the director of the department, in other words he is their boss.

Theoretically this shouldn't happen since everyone's opinion should be equally valued and participation should be encouraged. But in the real world the boss, that person who's pen signs your paycheck, will always be regarded as the most important participant of any meeting or presentation.
