As you progress your career, the way you engage senior stakeholders will not only be critical to delivering your objectives, projects and business results, but also impacts your personal reputation and opportunities to be promoted.
However, I know from my coaching clients that issues can come up all too often, when you need to align stakeholders with different views or priorities, and in some situations this can lead to a lack of support, delaying or stopping projects, and even conflict.
Stakeholder management starts with building trust through your intentional communication.
What you will learn in this episode:
- Identifying your stakeholders
- Mapping your stakeholders to identify their role: inform, consult or involve
- Why early engagement of key stakeholders matters
- What you need to know from your stakeholders
- Creating the communication plan
- How to manage issues with stakeholders
- The importance of feedback
