Sharpe talks about leverage at a few different levels : the individual, the organisational, the national, and at the sectoral level:
In any individual sector, we can identify leverage points: actions that are relatively low cost or low difficulty but that have a high impact in accelerating the transition.
He also talks about super-leverage points:
In the whole system, we can identify super-leverage points: we define these as actions that are high leverage in the sectors where they are taken, and that influence transitions in other sectors in a way that is positive in direction, high in impact, and reasonably high in probability.
