    Answer: weak position power

    Explanation: Simply put, position power relates to the influence that one has in an organization over someone else owing to the place that such person occupies in the administrative hierarchy. The role power works as a base line for a company's senior subordinate partnership.

    The influence of the job makes the stream of contact vertical, creating a sense of reverence and respect among some of the subordinates to their superiors.

    In the case at hand, Abigail is the manager of the group as well as the other person on whom she wishes to direct to hold the very same role as she does. Therefore, there really is no senior-junior arrangement between them that implies weak role control.
