Speak Less, Own More, The Authority Multiplier No One Talks About
Most leaders sabotage their authority with their own mouths.
They over-explain. They soften edges. They fill silence with noise.
The fix is simple and ruthless.
Say half as much. Make every word count. Provoke thought on purpose. Deliver truth with a smirk.
Four rules I drill into every high-level client:
- Box every idea into a single lethal sentence before it escapes.
- Embrace calculated friction. Agreement at all costs equals mediocrity.
- Use silence as a weapon. The pause after your point hits harder than the point itself.
- Stay likable enough that people thank you for the punch.
Implement this tomorrow and watch how fast perceptions shift.
Your scarcity becomes the signal. Your precision becomes the standard.
