"Aligned" Stakeholder Management

This book, Aligned: Stakeholder Management for Product Leaders, by Bruce McCarthy and Melissa Appel, guides product leaders on building exceptional relationships with stakeholders. The book uses a narrative approach, following Irie, a product manager at Helthex, as she navigates the complexities of stakeholder management within a complex company. The authors explore various aspects of building rapport and trust, including understanding organisational structures, individual decision-making styles, and communication techniques. The book provides practical frameworks and models, like the DACI model and the Stakeholder Canvas, for managing stakeholder interactions, managing conflict, and creating a successful product roadmap.
