You will:

Analyse all the stakeholders you work for and with, both inside and outside of your organisation
Be able to use a stakeholder categorisation tool to highlight the level of influence and interest your stakeholders have over the work you do
Apply four core management strategies to your stakeholder groups
Be able to use the stakeholder mapping tools with your team at your next quarterly meeting or offsite

Influence Anyone

If you tend to rely on one or two ‘go-to’ influencing styles when managing people, the chances are that you won’t compel people half as much as if you thought a bit about the other person’s perspective and changed your tactics to suit.

Consult & Advise

To use your expertise in the best way, it’s important to establish trust rather than just tell people everything you know. Building trust is as much about asking questions, facilitating the discussion and sharing thoughts and feelings as it is about being the one with all the answers.

Manage Upwards

Working life is more energising and productive when you take control of the relationship with your manager and other senior people. By understanding what’s important to them and changing your style to reflect this, you can get more of what you want in a way that works for your boss.
