Answer:

Expert Power

Step-by-step explanation:

A leader can exercise five powers, i.e., Coercive, Referent, Expert, Reward and Legitimate power.

Expert Power can be defined on the basis of the perception of the workers about their leader, manager or any other member of the firm or organization.

The workers perceives that their leader or manager or anyone in the organization has certain level of knowledge higher to them or has a specific skills set that no other member in the organization has.

In relation to the question, expert power is when the leader has higher knowledge and the employees comply because of their perception resulting in a belief in their leader that they learn or get benefited from it.
