EQ-i 2.0 

The EQ-i 2.0 provides the most scientifically validated Emotional Intelligence assessment tool available and is widely used by organisations across the world. The accumulated research on the EQ-i has shown that what was once considered that intangible determinant of success can now be accurately measured.

​

From a scientific (rather than a popular) standpoint, emotional intelligence is the ability to accurately perceive your own and others’ emotions; to understand the signals that emotions send about relationships; and to manage your own and others’ emotions. It doesn’t necessarily include the qualities (like optimism, initiative, and self-confidence) that some popular definitions ascribe to it.

​

​

The most effective leaders are all alike in one crucial way: they all have a high degree of what has come to be known as emotional intelligence. It’s not that IQ and technical skills are irrelevant. They do matter, but…they are the entry-level requirements for executive positions. My research, along with other recent studies, clearly shows that emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership. Without it, a person can have the best training in the world, an incisive, analytical mind, and an endless supply of smart ideas, but he still won’t make a great leader.

​

Why is EI Important?

While emotional intelligence isn’t the sole predictor of human performance and development potential, it is proven to be a key indicator in these areas. Emotional intelligence is not a static factor – to the contrary, one’s emotional intelligence changes over time and can be developed in targeted areas

The EQ-i 2.0 assessment measures emotionally and socially intelligent behaviour in five key areas:

 

• Self-Perception – which gives an insight into the inner self.

• Self-Expression – the outward expression or the action component of one’s internal perception

• Interpersonal – developing and maintaining relationships based on trust and compassion

• Decision Making – the way in which one uses emotional information

• Stress Management – how well one can cope with the emotions associated with change

 

EQ-i 2.0® is a highly effective personal development tool, identifying development measures and programs that help::

 

• Identify development needs and under-utilised strengths

• Create more competent and motivated staff

• Enhance the quality of communication throughout the organisation

• Provide a clearer assessment of skills working with and through people and where they need to be developed within the organisation

• Build more effective team functioning through the inclusion of other colleagues’ perceptions

• More powerfully, the EQ-i 2.0 and 360 can be used as a catalyst for changing organisational culture.

Leadership Report

Brings emotional intelligence into the practice of coaching to develop better leaders. Closely related concepts, EI and leadership are integrated into the report where the EQ-i 2.0 results are discussed in relation to important leadership competencies. Based on data collected from 200 successful leaders (senior managers to C-level executives), the results are not only shown against this comparison group but key relationships between EQ-i 2.0 subscales and leadership outcomes. Both client and coach reports help with leadership assessment, leadership placement, training of leadership skills, and understanding potential derailers to success.
