The agency of others
Your peers won’t wait. Instead, they gather, position, and move
Scott Galloway says it best: “The secret to sounding smart lies in the agency of others.”
Wherever you are right now, someone is doing exactly this and quietly collecting, listening harder than they appear, asking enough to keep you talking, and while you perform, they accumulate.
It’s not manipulation, it’s intelligence. The leading operators have always known who to mine and when to stop.
Your peers won’t wait. Instead, they gather, position, and move. The ones who get ahead aren’t always the brightest—they’re the most intentional. Get in or get passed.
The agency of others is available to everyone. Most don’t pick it up.
