Flattering your boss and helping co-workers with their work are two examples of ingratiation, which is a type of influence tactic that involves using flattery, praise, or favors to get someone to like you or comply with your requests. They are not necessarily sources of power or political tactics, nor do they involve using silent authority or upward appeal.
