Stakeholder management is really similar to having clients. That makes it a great chance to practice that relationship and explore how you bring them on the journey with you.
A huge part of our jobs as creatives is to educate those who don't understand design. Perhaps you need to look at how you're involving them.
Asking 'Can you explain why you think that?' is a great way to dig deeper into their feedback, considering their strategic perspective.
Ultimately, they don't want to hinder you from doing your job. Look to work with them, not against them, for mutual benefit.
