Explain “soft” and “hard” influence tactics and how they relate to commitment, compliance, and resistance.
What will be an ideal response?
Soft influence tactics are considered to be persuasion, ingratiation, exchange, and
impression management. Hard influence tactics are upward appeal, coalition formation,
information control, and assertiveness. Soft tactics are more likely to result in
commitment and are a frequent choice of leaders with personal sources of power, such
as expert and referent power. Hard tactics are more likely to generate compliance or
resistance, and they are used by leaders with position power, such as legitimate,
reward, and coercive power.
