Abstract: The selected topic being treated in this paper is ‘‘The Role of Power in Effective Leadership and Followership’’. This topic is actually very little studied in the context of Albania and we judge that literature is not enough, for this reason we considered it appropriate for further research. This paper analyzes the use of power by leaders, the role it plays in effective leadership, and since the power is situational we intend to learn more about cases and situations where it is used. Also what is interesting is that this paper devotes a large space and makes part of it the power exerted by followers, because it is often perceived that power is possessed only by leaders. We will examine the role of followers and some main assumptions regarding their use of power. Some central questions that are raised in this paper and which we intend to give a response at the end are: What is the role of power in effective leadership and followership? What kind of power is used more in the Albanian context and why?
