How high output turns you into a critical dependency the organization can’t afford to move. When your value lives in execution, stagnation is not failure. It’s design.

While most professionals listen to words, strategists watch bodies. This intelligence briefing reveals how limbic signals expose deception, territoriality, and sabotage before they surface in decisions.
