Today's OneWord: Leverage

Being the chief of operations gave me considerable leverage over the day-to-day routines of the workers, though some of them were either too dense or too unwilling to imagine that I was in charge. One particular worker who directed the assembly lines liked to call me "miss" and ask if I would bring a pot of coffee for him and his staff in their breakroom. I responded by literally smacking him upside the head, then revealing my badge from the left breast of my red jacket. He hadn't bothered me since.
