How can I effectively manage difficult stakeholders in my project?

Managing difficult stakeholders requires clear communication, empathy, and strategic engagement. What specific challenges are you facing?

One stakeholder keeps changing requirements, which is frustrating the team.

It's important to address this directly. Have you considered setting up regular check-ins to align on expectations?

No, I haven't. How would that help?

Regular check-ins can provide a platform for discussing changes and ensuring everyone is on the same page, reducing frustration.

That makes sense. What if they still push for changes last minute?

In that case, it’s crucial to establish a change management process. This can help manage expectations and minimize disruptions.
