Inverted Trust Leverage

Trust can be flipped like a lever, and most people never see the hand on it. I learned that in rooms where time was short and margins were zero. This piece breaks down the core mechanics of inverted trust leverage, the specific points of control, and the early cues that signal a pending turn against you. You will get the decisions that keep you in charge, the checks that harden posture, and the practical outcomes that protect a team when trust is pushed in the wrong direction.

Trust is a resource. Treat it like cash and carry it in layers. If a move forces you to spend it fast, change the move or change the room.
