Meetings full of 'stakeholders' feel like charity galas where everyone wants a ribbon and no one wants to fund the project. In this ten-minute episode Dr Disruptor, with The Survivor’s eye for humane practicalities, runs a sharp, entertaining autopsy of stakeholder theater. You’ll learn a compact taxonomy of stakeholder archetypes—The Phantom, The Micro-Manager, The Snack-Only Attendee—and get three airtight scripts to reframe invites, demand clarity, and protect your time. This episode blends satire with survival: decode what 'alignment' and 'input' really mean, triage invites like a pro, and leave with a one-week experiment to cut meeting volume without tipping office optics. Fun enough to laugh through the pain, practical enough to test on Monday morning.
