Engaging stakeholders and team culture for more success

As a leader, your work involves managing and engaging stakeholders at various times. These stakeholders could be within or outside your team or organisation. Stakeholders include your team members, your boss, peers, partners, customers and even the family. How successful you are in your job will, in part, depend on how good you are at engaging and managing your stakeholders.

Having an effective mindset will enable you to respond, manage and engage your stakeholders effectively and constructively. This will lead to even more positive work results and relationships. Your mindset will also set the tone and direction for your team culture.

In this workshop, you will learn how effective thinking and behavioural styles will enable you to engage and manage your stakeholders and your team culture successfully
