Power can sometimes lead to leadership...for example... Ferdinand Marcos
Ferdinand Marcos became one of the presidents in the Philippines. He has legitimate power since he was elected by the people. He was chosen by the people to lead their country. Also, Ferdinand Marcos is knowledgeable enough to be the president... this is one of the criteria why people voted for him. But, as time passes by he became a tyrant leader, he possessed coercive power where he rules using threats.
Ferdinand Marcos was voted twice as president. People nowadays believe that he used threats so that people will vote for him once more. During his regime, people are not allowed to voice out their thoughts. People he disliked were killed immediately. As for his wife, she closed all the shoe stores where she brought shoes in so that people have the same shoes as hers. I can say Marcos used coercive power throughout his reign therefore making people angry. the people created a revolution known as the edsa 1 where i can say could be a growth group or a problem-solving group. as a result, Marcos was thrown out as presidency and the people elected a new leader.
Marcos' reign is pretty interesting and how people tried to stop him and went against him... one of the most interesting history of the Philippines:)
