The Iceberg Model that we looked at previously not only illustrates the different dimensions of an issue but also offers insight into how to enact change most effectively within the system through what are called leverage points. A leverage point is a place within a system where small changes can have large effects. The lower we go in the iceberg, the more leverage we have for transforming the system. For example, changing structures and influencing mental models has a broader, more far-reaching effect than reacting in the moment and firefighting discrete events. Thus the only real way to find high leverage points is to first find the root causes.
