Developing Stakeholder Relationships for Team Leaders

This class teaches students how to identify key stakeholders, develop stakeholder relationships, create a plan for leading a team of multiple stakeholders to complete a project, and facilitate team discussions.

It's designed for professionals and emerging leaders who want to strengthen their team leadership skills by learning how to run a project that spans multiple teams and departments. These are the essential skills for keeping key players engaged.

The lessons are hands-on, practical, and actionable. The class content combines both theory and practice so you get the best of both worlds.

No specific prior knowledge is required. However, the class is built on the assumption that students have an actual upcoming or current project to which they can apply the course lessons.

The skills learned in the class can be used to improve stakeholder participation on a small existing team all the way up to managing large, ongoing projects.

Note: This class does not teach general stakeholder "engagement" tactics, which are often aligned with marketing and ultimately doing more business with clients. While that topic is clearly an important one, this class does not take that approach. In contrast, the class is essentially about developing critical relationships and leading a team of stakeholders on a project.
