I went back and reviewed what was actually written in the book.
I remembered it incorrectly. Principle-Centered Leadership by Stephen
Covey, page 298 says,
And who is a stakeholder? The best way to answer that is to ask,
"Who will suffer if the enterprise fails."
From the corrected definition we'd be pre-sensitized to Joanne's point
that sometimes someone stands to suffer if the enterprise SUCCEEDS, and
those are important stakeholders to recon with too.
