'By Mike Myatt , Chief Executive Officer, N2growth . I’ve always believed leadership exists to disrupt mediocrity, but I’m afraid in recent times many leaders are losing that battle. Somewhere along the way, they threw in the towel and settled for a weak-kneed, watered-down version of leadership – they have rationalized and justified themselves into an acceptance of mediocrity.

'By definition, a stakeholder is anyone who has something at stake due to your change. A stakeholder is not just the person who must change the way they work in order to gain the desired results. A stakeholder may also be someone who benefits or suffers from the outcome of the change, or someone who must support the change in order for it to happen. “Stakeholder” is the generic term for anyone who is impacted by or who impacts the change.
