Let's start with Frank Fountain, an African American man who grew up on a farm in the American South. This in itself can create a whole host of problems. Before attending business school, he served in the Peace Corps where he volunteered in West Bengal, India. In 1973, Frank Fountain received his Master of Business Administration in Finance from the Wharton School of Business. Shortly after, he began his career at Chrysler Corporation as an investment analyst. He remained in the world of finance for about twenty years until he accepted a position in the company's government affairs office in Washington, DC. Currently, Frank Fountain is the Senior Vice President of Government Affairs for Chrysler Corporation (Executive Leadership Council, 2008). Paula Banks, on the other hand, is an African American woman from Chicago, Illinois who started her career in 1972 as a management trainee at Sears, Roebuck and Company and was extremely successful as a line manager. She progressed through store management positions and in 1975 accepted a special position in human resources. Paula Banks was named president of the Sears Foundation and after 24 years with the company, she later accepted the position of president of the Amoco Foundation. When Amoco merged with BP, she accepted a position in London which expanded her expertise on the global stage. Currently, Paula Banks serves as Senior Vice President of Global Diversity/Inclusion and Organizational Partnerships at PepsiCo, Incorporated (Executive Leadership Council, 2008). Mapping Strategy Essentially, Frank Fountain attributed much of his success in acquiring corporate power and influence to referent power and expert power (Anonymous, n.d.). We can explain why reference power is predominant among charismatic leaders. Keep in mind that charismatic leaders are those who engage emotions and can move the masses. Leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy and Ceasar Chavez. These people use networking in the workplace to gain a peer group that they can rely on and hopefully call upon in times of need. Expert power is common to subject matter experts. Your knowledge is power. These leaders typically have extensive experience and training in their area of ​​expertise. Frank Fountain began his career at Chrysler Corporation establishing strong and supportive relationships with many of his peers..
