 When you are struggling to change a leader’s behavior (or perhaps your own!) a confidential emotional intelligence assessment can help. Studies have shown that emotional intelligence is just as important in driving success as your IQ.
Emotional intelligence is one’s ability to empathize with others, identify, evaluate, control and express one’s own emotions, and perceive and assess the emotions of others.
We use the most advanced and scientifically validated form of emotional intelligence assessment with our clients, EQi, or EQ 2.0 https://ei.mhs.com/EQi.aspx
“Studies have shown that emotional intelligence is just as important
in driving success as your IQ.”
Frequently, we will recommend an emotional intelligence assessment in conjunction with one-on-one sensitivity coaching in order to allow the leader to understand their own reactivity in the workplace. Group assessment – where we use an additional EQi tool to identify trends and group issues – can also help change the dynamic of a group.
What Should You Do?
- Consider adding an EQi assessment if you are recommending coaching for a leader. Such an assessment can make the difference in driving behavioral change. The assessment can be especially useful in conjunction with one-on-one sensitivity coaching.
- Make sure the assessment is confidential to encourage honesty.
- Select a provider who uses a sophisticated version of the assessment and make certain that you integrate the assessment into coaching or training.
- Ask the provider to follow-up to make sure that the required awareness and behavior change is occurring.
- Consider asking the entire group to take the assessment so that you can understand the group dynamics.
