Why this training?
Even professionals with strong content knowledge sometimes get stuck. Not because they don't master their profession, but because they don't know how to get others on board. Stakeholder management revolves around precisely that: Seeing who influences your results, understanding what drives them, and knowing how to actively involve them. Professionals who recognize, understand, and purposefully engage stakeholders not only make an impact more quickly. They also build trust, reduce resistance, make better decisions, and increase their influence in a way that is supported by others.
And that makes them—regardless of their role or seniority—more valuable to their organization.
Four skills make the difference in stakeholder management:
- Social awareness – Sensing what is going on and understanding emotions and tensions.
- Influencing power – Knowing who you need to convince strongly or gently – and by whom.
- Networking skills – Building bridges, finding allies, showing interest.
- Ethical-realistic intentions – Acting in the interests of the organization and sustainability.
Curious about how you can learn to apply and combine these skills in your work? Discover it in our Stakeholder Management training course and increase your effectiveness and influence.
