You've encountered a setback with stakeholders. How can you rebuild their trust effectively?

Step 1: Acknowledge and accept the mistake committed. Step 2: Do a root-cause analysis involving the stake-holders ensuring all stake-holder's perspectives are considered. Step 3: Draw up the action plan and share with the stake holders. Step 4: Regularly update the status of action plan with the stake holders. Step 5: Once recovery is made, ensure there is an "unexpected small reward" for the stake-holders at own's expense as a token of appreciation and support.

I think the starting point for building effective and collaborative stakeholders relationship is to effectively communicate shared benefits and the importance of concerted effort for mutually agreed outcomes. We need to reconsider those shared outcomes and rebuild trust and confidence in each other's contributions. Until trust and confidence are established, a continuous consultative forum should be established with those stakeholders that are identified as relevant based on their interests and roles.

After addressing the issue, present a clear, actionable plan to resolve it. This plan should include specific timelines, and responsible parties.

Acknowledge the Setback and Take Responsibility: Start by openly acknowledging the setback without making excuses. Clearly explain what went wrong, why it happened, and how it affects the stakeholders. Taking full responsibility shows integrity and a willingness to own up to mistakes. Communicate Transparently and Regularly: Maintain open lines of communication with stakeholders. Provide regular updates on the steps being taken to address the issues and prevent future occurrences. Transparency builds credibility, so be honest about progress, challenges, and timelines.

Beyond empathizing, take concrete actions that align with stakeholders' interests. Implement changes or improvements based on their feedback, and communicate these actions clearly.

Understanding and empathizing with stakeholders' concerns is vital. Put yourself in their shoes and recognize the impact the setback may have had on their interests. By expressing genuine empathy, you show stakeholders that you value their feelings and perspectives. This emotional intelligence strengthens the relationship and paves the way for effective dialogue and problem-solving.

Regularly update stakeholders on the progress of your action plan. Break down the plan into key milestones and share updates as you achieve them.

In the aftermath, this phase is essential not only to demonstrate accountability but also to reinforce a commitment to strengthen the relation with the stakeholders. Acknowledgement and communicating correction plans forward is so important, yet the human relationship is as, if not more important.

It is crucial to understand the reasons behind the setback. Various reasons such as miscommunication, lack of transparency, unmet expectations, or perceived biases in decision-making. Identifying the root cause of the issue is essential in formulating an effective strategy to rebuild.

Building influence can be harder to re-establish after something went wrong. We need to remember that within a relationship, each side has 'walls of self-preservation' that need to come down for influence to flow. It's not just about lowering the wall of self-preservation for the stakeholder, we need to make sure our wall has not gone up because of what has gone wrong. Loss of confidence or embarrassment can cause this to happen. For us to influence someone it takes a number of things including; competency, character, credibility and chemistry. All of these will create trust. Depending on who we are will depend on which we turn on first. But, depending on who the stakeholder is will tell us in what order they will look for in someone.
