Description

Leadership credibility isn’t built overnight, and there are no tricks that you can use to be respected in meetings or other forums at work.

In this episode, I talk about the real groundwork which often happens before you need people to listen to you. That’s all about building trust and credibility with your key stakeholders.

I share how to identify who your most important stakeholders are, how to map their influence and interest, and how to grow strong relationships over time.

This groundwork makes it easier to be heard and respected, no matter your leadership style.
