Leadership Capacity Accelerator

Restoring leadership capacity so delivery holds under pressure.

Nic - Founder of Connected Peace

1. When Is It Used?

This Accelerator is used when the strategy is sound, and leaders are capable but delivery is slowing because leadership capacity is under strain.

Typical signals include:

  • Senior leaders are overloaded and over-functioning

  • Decisions take longer than they should, or quietly reopen

  • Escalation and firefighting are increasing

  • Delivery feels heavier despite the effort rising

Nothing is “wrong” with the leaders; the issue isn’t capability.
It’s how leadership capacity is being used and lost under sustained pressure.

This work addresses that directly, at the team level.

2. What This Is

A focused, senior-level intervention that resets how the leadership team operates under pressure.

Specifically, it strengthens how the team:

  • Makes and reinforces decisions

  • Uses leadership time and attention

  • Moves priority work forward

  • Absorbs pressure without slowing delivery

This is not a leadership development programme.
It is not team-building. It is a practical operating reset for senior teams whose capacity has become the constraint.

Typically commissioned by COOs, MDs, or People Directors whose leadership teams are capable but overstretched.

How it works

  • A short diagnostic to surface where leadership time, decisions, and focus are leaking

  • Three high-intensity sessions with the senior team

  • A 90-day implementation window to lock changes into day-to-day leadership behaviour

The work resets:

  • Decision ownership and follow-through

  • Meeting load and escalation patterns

  • Role boundaries and expectations

  • Strategic focus under pressure

So delivery speeds up without adding effort, governance, or headcount.

3. What Changes As A Result

Once leadership capacity is restored, organisations typically see:

  • 10–15% senior leadership capacity reclaimed

  • 15–25% faster delivery cycles on priority work

  • Reduced rework and duplication as decisions hold

  • More predictable execution and smoother board and investor cycles

On the ground, it feels like this:

  • Leaders stop compensating.

  • Decisions land and stay decided.

  • Delivery becomes calmer, cleaner, and more reliable.

4. Investment

In most senior teams, even a 10% release of leadership capacity exceeds the investment within the first quarter.

£3,500 per leaders

Most cohorts are 6–8 senior leaders from the same organisation, running the programme together over 90 days.

This includes:

  • Leadership capacity diagnostic

  • Three Accelerator sessions

  • 90-day implementation support

  • Measurement of progress

You’re not investing in training.
You’re reclaiming leadership capacity already being lost to overload, escalation, and delivery drag.
