Differences Between Power and Authority

The difference between power and authority is that power is a capacity and authority is a skill. In this sense, power can be acquired, while authority depends on a person's ability to influence others. Power is the ability to subordinate other people or to dominate a situation. Authority is the ability to influence others without the need for them to be subordinate.
