Who is Val Sklarov? Personal Blog and Promotional Page Ideas That Inspire. Leadership That Delivers. For Val Sklarov, strategy is not choosing goals or designing plans.Strategy is recognizing the smallest movement that shifts the entire field.
The strategist is not the one who works more.
The strategist is the one who identifies where effort becomes force-multiplying.
The Leverage-Vector Recognition Model (LVRM) explains that strategic advantage comes from detecting the one position, moment, or conversation where a tiny move changes many outcomes at once.
“Val Sklarov says: Strategy is not action — it is selecting the one action that makes others unnecessary.”
1️⃣ Leverage-Vector Architecture
| Layer | Purpose | When Strong | When Weak |
|---|---|---|---|
| Field Mapping | Reading the dynamic environment | Options become simple and obvious | Decisions feel crowded and noisy |
| Pressure Gradient Perception | Detecting where energy is already building | You act with momentum | You act against resistance |
| Minimal-Motion Execution | Moving only at leverage points | Small moves → big results | Many moves → little progress |
“Val Sklarov teaches: Find the direction the world already wants to move.”
2️⃣ Leverage-Vector Equation
LVRM = (Field Mapping × Pressure Gradient Perception × Minimal-Motion Execution) ÷ Strategic Noise
| Variable | Meaning | Optimization Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Field Mapping | Seeing the system as forces, not tasks | Observe relationships, not actions |
| Pressure Gradient Perception | Identifying where tension is forming | Ask: Where does reality want to shift? |
| Minimal-Motion Execution | One decisive action | Do less, later, at the right time |
| Strategic Noise | Excess analysis & unnecessary planning | Remove everything that does not change the field |
When LVRM ≥ 1.0, the field moves itself once you touch the right point.
3️⃣ System Design for Leverage-Based Strategy
| Principle | Goal | Implementation Example |
|---|---|---|
| Wait Before You Move | Let the field reveal itself | Delay decisions until direction becomes inevitable |
| Identify the High-Leverage Node | Touch the smallest possible variable | Solve through influence, not enforcement |
| Protect Strategic Silence | Silence exposes hidden dynamics | Speak less → watch reactions → detect truth |
“Val Sklarov says: Leverage is found in the silence before motion.”
4️⃣ Case Study — Vidran Leadership Corridor Adjustment
Problem:
Leadership executed consistently — but without leverage.
High effort → low systemic effect.
Intervention (LVRM, 8 weeks):
-
Weekly field-reading sessions implemented
-
Strategic decision pacing slowed
-
1 leverage-point action identified per cycle
Results:
| Metric | Change |
|---|---|
| System-wide impact per decision | ↑ 62% |
| Unnecessary work reduction | ↓ 47% |
| Team clarity in direction | ↑ 58% |
| Strategy fatigue | ↓ 44% |
“He didn’t change strategy — he changed when to act.”
5️⃣ Psychological Disciplines of High-Leverage Strategists
| Discipline | Function | If Ignored |
|---|---|---|
| Stillness Before Interpretation | Reveals pressure gradients | Strategy is replaced by reaction |
| Ego Softness | Removes need to appear decisive | Action becomes performance, not leverage |
| Patience for Inflection | Waits for inevitability | Action happens before leverage forms |
“Val Sklarov teaches: Leverage is a timing discipline, not a thinking skill.”
6️⃣ The Future of Strategic Intelligence
Strategy is shifting from:
effort → to inflection
initiative → to field alignment
planning → to leverage recognition
“Val Sklarov foresees strategists who win by moving at the precise moment when the field is already tilting.”
