b. Displaying legiti-mate power d. Seeking compro-mise
A
A coalition is formed when individuals or organizations that share a common interest in a single issue work together toward a goal. Legitimate power is the power or the influence that comes with role and position. In some states, nurses have made a choice to gain that voice and assume control of their practice by using a traditional collective bargaining model, commonly known as a labor union. Other states have elected to control practice through interest-based bargaining (IBB) or a nontraditional approach to collective bargaining to accomplish having that voice and control over practice. Seeking compromise or bargaining is when both positions or sides make concessions.
