Level 2 Authority
Authority.
Authority can refer to both a person or an institution that has the power or right to control, command, or influence others. It can also refer to the perceived legitimacy of that power or influence.
In many contexts, authority is derived from a formal position of power, such as a government official, a police officer, or a CEO of a company.
However, authority can also be derived from expertise or knowledge.
For example, a doctor may have authority in matters related to health, while a professor may have authority in matters related to their field of study.
Authority can also be perceived and accepted by those who are being influenced or controlled. This is often referred to as "legitimate authority" and can be based on a sense of trust, respect, or tradition.
