(Manage Closely): fully engage these people,
and make the greatest efforts to satisfy them.
• High power, less interested people (Keep
Satisfied): put enough work in with these people
to keep them satisfied, but not so much that they
become bored with your message.
• Low power, highly interested people (Keep
Informed): adequately inform these people, and
talk to them to ensure that no major issues are
arising. People in this category can often be very
helpful with the detail of your project.
