Lead definition
I propose moving the definition by the Stanford Research Institute out of the lead, as I do not believe it reflects current usage of the term. It is worth mentioning in the article only for historical purposes. For example, contemporary usage includes as stakeholders neighbors of a factory who may not be supportive, yet the company can continue to function without their support.

 * I agree the lead could be streamlined. The other sections also need to be coordinated. Heath 2006 provides a slate of sources to use and a structure which could be borrowed. --Nemo 10:52, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
