ABSTRACT
Recognizing that all executives need strong, positive working relationships with a range of people within and outside their organization, this exercise helps to identify key stakeholders and to provide an action plan for positive influence. Often, individuals have their own agendas and special concerns and seek to protect their vested areas of interest. We hear about the silo-mentalities within functional business areas, which serve to separate, divide and work against the best interests of the organization. The identification of key stakeholders can help to remove boundaries within the organization, a clear benefit, and can also support the career development and promotion of the client.
