Discuss the political tactics used by those with power in an organization to create dependency

Please provide the best answer for the statement.


Some researchers have argued that the basic source of power is the creation of dependency. Some authors identify two categories of political tactics as encompassing the main kinds of tactics by which such dependencies can be created. One is getting control over scarce resources desired by others. Controlling employees, buildings, access to influential persons, equipment, and useful information are examples of this. The second is by establishing favorable relationships. Getting others to feel obligated to oneself, making others think one is a friend, building a reputation as an expert, and encouraging others to believe that one has power and that they are dependent on that power.
