Leverage

This is a term of physics. Here is a decent, if cursory, definition. It is an age-old concept. It means that you can move objects with only a fraction of the force that would be required by acting on them directly. The longer your lever, and the closer the fulcrum is to the object (further away from you) the more leverage you have.

Leverage is not a verb.

If you are an MBA and you are adding value to initiatives to sell innovative solutions for the new paradigm, leverage is not a word in your vocabulary. You do not know what it means. Don't use words when you don't know what they mean, you will get us all in trouble.
