What percentage of stakeholders are difficult to deal with?

I was about to go with the 80/20 rule and say 20% are difficult while 80% are not. But I may have to select 30% are difficult and 70% are not.

Sante -

I'd say it is proportional to the magnitude of the change impacts to stakeholders. If the impacts are low or are all favorable, outside of the occasional troublemaker the percentage should be very low.

On the other hand, if the project is perceived to negatively impact one or more stakeholder groups, the percentage could be quite high.

Kiron, I agree with you statement.

I would add this, if it is perceive to impact negatively a single stakeholder, individual or group, that has big influence on other stakeholders your project is at risk, the % would climb high.
