The Brainmates Managing Stakeholders Template
As Product Leaders, managing relationships with diverse stakeholders is a critical skill—yet it can often feel overwhelming. To bring clarity and direction, we created the Managing Stakeholders Template, a structured tool to help you thoughtfully approach stakeholder engagement.
This template simplifies your stakeholder management landscape by organising it into three distinct groups:
- Executives – those who are more senior than you, often responsible for corporate or business strategic direction and high-level decisions.
- Peers – your colleagues in parallel roles, who play a key role in collaboration and cross-functional alignment.
- Direct Reports – team members who report to you, where your focus is on leadership, mentorship, and development.
