ETL – Asking Stakeholders the Difficult Questions – Information Designer Bill Shander
Update: 2025-07-30
Description
It can feel tempting to avoid questioning a thought leader's vision when you're the professional executing on their value offering. But that fear of confrontation can lead to bigger problems if you don't discover what the thought leader actually needs from the get-go.
Enter Bill Shander, information designer and author of "Stakeholder Whispering," a new book on how to work with stakeholders to uncover and deliver the products and services they actually need, not think they need.
On this episode of Everything Thought Leadership, Bill talks about the main ideas within the book: using the Socratic method to ask important questions and helping stakeholders truly understand the problems they're facing.
Everything Thought Leadership is a video and podcast series from Buday TLP for thought leaders and thought leadership professionals; the people who help experts get recognized as thought leaders. Episodes release monthly, preceded by trailers and followed with short snippets of wisdom from the interviews.
