The way people commonly use the word 'leverage' seems to exclude the most valuable types of lever. Like, a decision might be considered a lever, but I don't think borrowed capital should be. That seems more like a 'force' and a risky one at that!

To me a 'lever' is an instrument that you can use to take control of, amplify or strengthen a decision or position.

A good lever should be cheap or maybe even free. It could be an engineered tool or automation, a skill, a position, a rhetoric or meme, etc. It does not even need to be owned by you, it just needs to be accessible and applicable.

Having good leverage implies having good footwork and knowing a lever when you see one.

For example, a common and good source of leverage is wit. Being able to joke to underscore a belief you hold makes it easier to direct a conversation your way without irritating a group. A good joke at just the right moment is a lever.

Another useful source of leverage is tooling.

Another common lever is to position oneself not at the contested grounds of a winner, but at its complements or ingredients.

Another lever is being able to launder advice through the mouths of others. Sort of "word-of-mouth marketing" but generalised.
