      Solution

      Reward power arises from a leader’s ability to recognise, appreciate, and reinforce positive behaviour. While rewards are often monetary (bonuses, promotions), they also include non-monetary rewards such as: • Public appreciation • Recognition of effort • Providing opportunities for growth • Helping team members succeed In this case, the leader spreads credit, appreciates contributions, and actively supports team members, which motivates others through positive reinforcement, a core feature of reward power.
