Using An Influence/Stakeholder Map To Improve Your Relationships

In this guidance, we’ll help you understand how you can use a stakeholder or influence map as a personal tool for improving your relationships.

A successful career depends on two things: the relationships you have and the results you get. Early in your career, results carry more weight - but that doesn’t mean you can ignore relationships. Starting your relationship-building habit early gives you three key advantages: first, you can leverage those connections for better results; second, you’re developing a skill you’ll use your entire career; and third, you’ll have a strong network built up by the time you reach the stage where relationships matter more than results. (As a manager, your success comes from your team’s work, not just your own).
