The Silent Orchestra: The Unseen Forces of Decision-Making

Beneath the surface of every decision lies the undercurrents of political capital. It’s not the loud trumpets, but the subtle notes that harmonise the outcome. While overt leadership relies on directives, political capital thrives on collaboration and mutual respect.
