Rebalancing Power Through Trust

A key question we keep returning to is: how do we share power in a way that builds—not breaks—trust?

That’s the heart of our many-to-many work. It’s not just about structures. It’s about relationships.

We’ve been exploring the difference between quiet leadership and positional power. One insight stuck with us: “Sometimes the person leading the work isn’t the person with the title.”

That reframing helps us spot where leadership is really happening—and where it needs more support.

We’ve also talked about accountability. Not the kind that’s about blame, but the kind that says: “I’ll show up, and I trust you will too.”

Rebalancing power is hard. It takes honesty, patience, and the willingness to sit with discomfort. But it’s also where real transformation starts.

We’re not there yet. But we’re learning what it takes to get there—together.
