In this episode of Championing Change at Work, Domonique Townsend dives into the critical role relationships play in leadership. She shares how one multi-million-dollar initiative failed due to poor stakeholder engagement and contrasts it with instances where leaders turned resistance into success through strong relationship-building.

Tune in for actionable strategies on how to win over decision-makers and influencers, ensuring your ideas gain the buy-in they deserve. Domonique explains why strong strategies alone aren’t enough and outlines four essential steps for managing stakeholders:

1) Identifying key stakeholders and understanding their motivations

2) Persuading decision-makers to get on your side

3) Navigating potential conflicts

4) Sustaining long-term relationships for continued support.
