Understanding Different Forms of Authority

Authority can take various forms: inherited, positional, and assigned authority. Inherited authority is acquired through family lineage, like a first son's power. Positional authority is gained by holding a specific position in a group or organization. Assigned authority involves a conscious choice to grant authority to someone or something. These forms of authority can overlap but are crucial to distinguish in understanding how authority operates.
