Engaging with Stakeholders
Stakeholders
Stakeholders are not just library patrons. They are the community members and leaders to connect with for partnership and support of the library.(:55)
Understanding what is important to stakeholders involves putting yourself in their shoes or mindset.
- How is their success measured?
- What do they care about?
- In what ways does the work of the library align with this person's goals?
- How likely or unlikely are they to support an idea?
