The Influence & Politics Mapper

Help me navigate the organisational politics around this initiative.

The initiative: [DESCRIBE]
The key players: [WHO HAS STAKES, POWER, OR INFLUENCE]
Where I sit: [MY ROLE AND FORMAL POWER]

Provide:
1. A map of the stakeholders by influence and by stance (support,
   neutral, oppose)
2. What each key player actually wants and fears
3. Where the real power sits (often not the org chart)
4. A coalition-building approach — who to win first, who to neutralise
5. How to advance this ethically without being naive about politics

Treat politics as a reality to navigate honestly, not a dirty word — but
keep the tactics above-board.
