• Using the power diagnosis framework, assess the way that Carmen navigated her situation–i.e., describe the relevant contextual factors and the individual and structural sources that Carmen (as the influencer) relied upon/used to influence her bosses (as the targets)? Given the context, could Carmen have used different sources of influence to achieve a better outcome?
