The best book on stakeholder management

Would you listen to Managing Stakeholders again? Why?

Freeman was one of the first authors to focus on stakeholders and their impact on organizations' goals. The a idea of managing for stakeholders in opposition to managing stakeholders is a breakthrough. It is not possible to succeed without key stakeholders' support and buy in.

good enough for class

I bought the book because I wanted to understand Stakeholder Theory and how it relates to research that I am doing. the audiobook was dull buy informative.

Great, but could be better

A great insight on the topic, but the narration was just too fast for me. There is a disconnect between the message and the delivery.
