Navigating Stakeholder Management
Abstract

Stakeholder management involves a lot of collaboration and influence and is a critical skill for any leader. Be it managing a corporate project, leading a community initiative, or organizing a family event, understanding and managing the needs and expectations of stakeholders is important. By combining structured approaches with interpersonal skills, leaders can navigate complex stakeholder interests and foster trust, alignment, and enduring partnerships. This paper explores the essential concepts of stakeholder management, including stakeholder identification, stakeholder analysis, stakeholder communication, and stakeholder engagement strategies.
