The principle
Too much circulation makes the price drop. The more you are seen and heard from, the more common you appear; withdraw and you become talked about.
The application
Scarcity is a kind of power. Pull back at the moment you are most wanted; the room reorganises around your absence. Used carefully this is grace. Used carelessly it is petulance.
The defensive tell — how to spot it being run on you
When a leader who is normally constantly visible goes suddenly quiet for a week, the silence is rarely accidental. They are letting the room negotiate against itself, and they are returning at the moment of maximum demand. Notice the pattern; do not rush to interpret it as weakness.
