Power Comes From Restraint | Why Silence Controls the Room

Most people think power comes from doing more —
more action, more words, more reaction.

It doesn’t.

Real power comes from restraint.

In this episode of Execution Edge, we break down why silence creates pressure, why waiting shifts leverage, and how the person who speaks less often controls the room. Drawing from Machiavelli and modern power psychology, this isn’t about passivity — it’s about positioning.

If you’ve ever felt the urge to explain, justify, or react…
this episode will feel uncomfortable.

That’s the point.
