Leverage means helping a hundred people avoid mistakes because of you

At higher levels, the value of a technical expert is no longer how much work they can do personally, but how much they can help others accomplish. On this engineer’s promotion path, there is a particularly interesting turning point: he stopped staring at one specific bug and started thinking about why this category of bugs happened at all.

He spent time studying a mechanism, something like installing airbags on web pages, and wrote the approach into documentation that was promoted across the company. What was originally one person’s work became a tool that a hundred engineers could benefit from. This is the “leverage” that senior professionals pursue. In today’s AI implementation strategies, many companies still use AI to solve isolated point problems. The real breakthrough is whether AI can be used to build a system that raises the baseline of the entire team.

This way of thinking is very worth reflecting on for managers. One person working overtime to patch ten leaks, and one person designing a mechanism so the leaks no longer happen, are clearly not equal in value. The latter is much more valuable, but in performance reviews, the former is often easier to see. That is a huge misconception.
