Leading Through Partnership
Influence built on trust and shared purpose: how to engage multiple stakeholders within and outside your organization.
You lead a coalition, a project team, a group of peers or a network of partners. Instructions don’t work here. Purpose, trust and shared ownership do. Leading Through Partnership shows you how to build them, so people commit because they want to, not because they have to.
Inside:
- An 8-statement diagnostic drawn from the Regenerative Capacity Index, showing where your influence is strong and where it needs work.
- Push versus pull: Why leading by authority fails when you have none, and what works instead
- An illustrative scenario of a coalition that moved from polite agreement to real action
- Five practical tools: a stakeholder map, a purpose bridge, a deep listening protocol, a practice set for building trust and ownership, and an ego check
- A 30-day practice plan with weekly actions and a closing reflection
