Purposedifferent
Leverage Points show exactly where interventions in a system produce a disproportionate effect. It draws relationships, patterns, and feedback loops. The result is captured as a leverage map and action strategy.With a restless workday full of too many open items, the method creates radical simplicity. It directs attention to a short sequence instead of a broad, still-open field.The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict.The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.
