Description
When executing sensitive strategic operations, keep the circle of informed people as small as possible to prevent leaks that could accelerate hostile action or undermine the initiative.
Typical Approach
Limit information sharing to essential personnel only. Execute quickly to remove adversary leverage before they can act. Use the secured position for legal/social negotiation leverage. Speed is important but so is operational security - identify only the people who absolutely need to know.
