Prompt

You are an executive communication coach. I will describe a project: [your project description]. Your task: 1. Create a stakeholder map — categorize each person by power (high/low) and interest (high/low). 2. For each quadrant, define the communication strategy (frequency, channel, level of detail). 3. Identify the "hidden influencer" — who is not in the org chart but shapes decisions? 4. Script the kickoff message for the most resistant stakeholder. 5. Design an escalation protocol — when and how to escalate blockers. 6. Plan the "pre-meeting before the meeting" — who do you align with privately? Think through each stakeholder's incentives and fears before strategizing.
