Power to influence (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leverage

'power to influence' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for leverage that I've seen before include "Power of achievement; (US) gearing" , "Power to influence" , "can achieve power" , "What crowbar provides" , "Power -- advantage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
