Coercive: Avoid pain- If you do this, then I won't do this...
Reward: There is something to gain from it.
Legit: Appropriate- The right to ask, the duty to respond
Expert: Based on your knowledge, you can change something they are doing because of what you know
Referent: Value for a person. You do or don't do something because your value is higher for the person
