Authenticity and Stakeholder Management


“When it comes to authenticity, it’s better to walk than talk like one.”

β€” Mar Vin, Foo 🌿πŸͺŸ

Ever walked into a meeting and feeling the tension in the air?

The air is stale and the body language from the #stakeholders weren’t right.

And best of all, we can tell the elevated undercurrents despite the cordial pleasantries even from a virtual remote meeting.

For those in the military or schools, we can resonate with the situation when an officer or discipline master is before us.

Everyone is reporting but not everyone is sharing.

No one is talking about the underlying issues. Instead, everyone is focusing on the superficial subjects superficially.

Stakeholder #management is about winning trust. It takes months and years to deliver the objectives given the different agendas across departments and teams.

Be ourselves and live our #values even if we are told or instructed otherwise.

Be authentic and people will follow even when we part because we walk the talk.

Be happy.
