Describe the two distinct faces of power as stated by David McClelland.

Answers will vary. David McClelland believes that there are two distinct faces of power, one negative and one positive. The negative face of power is personal power-power used for personal gain. Managers who use personal power are commonly described as "powerhungry". Sexual harassment is an abuse of personal power. People who approach relationships with an exchange orientation often use personal power to ensure that they get at least their fair share-and often more-in the relationship. They are most interested in their own needs and interests. The positive face of power is social power-power used to create motivation or to accomplish group goals. McClelland clearly favors the use of social power by managers. People who approach relationships with a communal orientation focus on the needs and interests of others. In other words, they rely on social power. Please see the section "Using Power Ethically" for more information.
