Untapped Capacity Index™
A data-driven path to reveal overlooked leadership capacity and a clear roadmap to activate it.
The problem we see…and why it matters
Teams lack shared decision architecture — decisions stall, get re-made, or leak across units.
Trust often lives in individuals, not systems — so leadership depends on people, not predictable processes.
Organizations lack a repeatable path to move from insight → action at scale.
We designed the Untapped Capacity Index™ specifically to surface these patterns so you can shift from unsustainable and reactive problem-solving to predictable leadership practices.
How the Untapped Capacity Index™ works:
A Simple, Rigorous Arc
Team Diagnostic. Staff complete the 2-minute Untapped Capacity Index™ for a focused team, unit, or whole organization.
Team Index Report. We aggregate responses and map where leadership systems are visible and where they’re missing.
Team Strategy Reset. A 90-minute facilitated Untapped Leadership Reset Intensive that surfaces immediate priority fixes and co-designs next steps.
Targeted and Intentional Integration. For partners ready for deeper capacity-building, choose a tailored pathway: facilitated trainings to close specific capacity gaps, a custom manager cohort, a consulting partnership, or licensing to train your internal facilitators.
Deliverables
What Your Organization Receives
Team Index Report: Topline findings, quadrant scores, and specific opportunity areas grounded in the Untapped Leadership lens for contextual leadership.
Priority Roadmap: 3–6 recommended interventions and immediate steps mapped to your team’s Index Results.
Team Leadership Reset: 90-minute facilitated session to turn insights into the first scoped initiatives.
Executive Leadership Strategy Sessions: Two 30-minute executive-level strategy sessions to align senior leaders on Index findings and integrate recommended interventions into organizational strategy.
Deeper Capacity-Building Engagements: Targeted interventions built from your Team Index. The Index pinpoints the highest-leverage opportunity areas so your investment creates measurable, sustained leadership capacity.
What the Index measures
The Index is not an employee engagement survey. It’s a leadership capacity diagnostic that surfaces how leadership actually happens across four interconnected dimensions: Lived Insights, Systems Thinking, Individual Agency, and Shared Vision. These dimensions show where potential is already activating and where it remains untapped, offering both a mirror and a window for immediate action.
Case Studies
-
Untapped Leadership: Building Trust, Culture, and Capacity as a Manager - Cohort Program
In a five-session manager cohort grounded in the Untapped Leadership framework, we helped managers deepen trust, leverage lived insights, and build practical routines—from feedback fluency and strategic pauses to systems checks and inclusive decision practices—so leadership could be practiced reliably across teams.
“I felt the training provided the tools to begin to identify my locus of control, reasonable actionable steps to move forward, and a plan. It brought me hope and helped me embrace a stronger sense of agency.” - Participant Reflection
-
Untapped Leadership Reset Intensive
After the Untapped Capacity Index revealed strong shared purpose but uneven systems and divergent experiences across roles, a 90-minute Reset Intensive surfaced structural adjustments, peer cross-training on project tools, and lightweight visibility practices as immediate interventions.
These capacity-building strategies translated purpose into daily practice through stronger coordination across sites, clearer decision-making routines, and leadership structured to show up more predictably.

Purposeful Leadership for a Changing Landscape
Using the Untapped Leadership curriculum, this current district-wide initiative spans 4 Untapped Leadership opening sessions.
This executive-level group is implementing the tools, mindsets, and framework — contextual agility, T.R.U.S.T., identity & intersectionality, and systems mapping— to navigate today’s dynamic environments with purpose and agility.
