Harold is exercising legitimate power, which is based on his position as the president of the club and the rules and regulations that come with that position. He has the authority to impose rules and punishment on the members who do not comply. This is different from referent power, which is based on charisma and personality, expert power, which is based on knowledge and skill, reward power, which is based on the ability to provide incentives, and evasive power, which is not a recognized type of power.
