group's success. These are those variables describing the positively and negatively impacts

Influence of power on individual and team
Power represents the control provided to the individual worker by the business. It is used
by managers who inspired others to work quickly and efficiently. This requires different
authorities, such as offering incentives and quality assessment, and making decisions to
enhance the business. The Waitrose uses various theories to control a person and the team's
actions. These theories are as follows:
 Coercive power- It is the person's power to manage the workers ' everyday activities.
Waitrose gives executives and the CEO this control to boost the efficacy of each
employee's results (Ajala, 2016)).
 Reward power- The power is delegated to those who offer incentives, assessments,
rewards, recruitment and retention, and much more. Waitrose gives the board of directors
that authority and gives its workers unique bonuses, according to their accomplishments.

 Legitimate power- The power is granted according to the employee's background and
role. Waitrose provides this authority to the CEO who manages the company properly
and ensuring that all regulations and standards are complied with by all involved in the
company.
 Referent power- It is the power to control the activities of any person in the business.
Waitrose gives this to leaders and they further inspire others to do their work effectively.
 Expert power- This is the power given to people who have a tremendous knowledge of a
specific environment. In the above mentioned company, they give this power to those
who are expert in the nature.
 Informational power- This authority is granted to those who have the capacity to handle
financial reporting information. Waitrose grants this to CEO who controls all coverage
who represents the firm's position on the market.
Influence of politics on individual and team
The behaviour of politics represents a person's right to determine validly on time.
Waitrose Manager takes many choices for the firm's well-being and also tries the business's
political aspects. The political conduct of the person and the group is affected by certain factors:
 Decrease in the productivity- It has been used to bring adverse results to the business
and to sacrifice the goal and purpose of the business that you want to accomplish within
the limited timeframe (Inuwa, 2016)
 Spoils the Ambience- Politics creates an imbalanced atmosphere in the firm and
damages relations among other workers.
 Change in attitude of employees- Politics can shift towards workers' thinking and build
disparity in the business. It ensures the workers have to lose confidence in their jobs and
therefore demotivate workers.
Influence of culture on individual and team

Waitrose community is built up. The application of the cultural typology model Hendy has been
developed, which is separated into four parts and listed as follows:
