emotional intelligence 2.0: EQ-i 2.0, EQ360 Assessments
What is Emotional Intelligence 2.0 and why does it matter?
Emotional intelligence 2.0 (EQ-i 2.0) is a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we:
- perceive and express ourselves
- develop and maintain social relationships
- cope with challenges
- use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.
The overall result of well-developed emotional intelligence is healthy emotional and social functioning, which is linked to well-being (and happiness), which in turn impacts how we lead and perform. Assessing and evaluating an individual’s emotional intelligence can help establish the need for targeted development programs and measures. This can lead to dramatic increases in the person’s performance, interaction with others, and leadership potential. Supplemented by other sources of information, such as interviews, the EQ-i 2.0 can make the recruitment and selection process more reliable and efficient. A sound recruiting process leads to higher retention rates and reduced turnover which can result in significant cost savings, improved employee effectiveness and increased morale.
Emotional Intelligence 2.0 assessments and workshops
The EQ-i 2.0 Self-Assessment: Assess, Predict, Perform.
Emotional Intelligence 2.0 is a scientific approach to leadership development
For almost 20 years, consultants and organizations have trusted the science that underpins the EQ-i 2.0® (and its predecessor the EQ-i 1.0) to help improve human performance. The EQ-i 2.0 is a psychometric assessment which measures emotional intelligence (EI) and how it can impact people and the workplace. Being the first scientifically validated measure of EI, coupled with research from premier organizations, means you can count on the EQ-i 2.0 to add robustness and accuracy to your talent management initiatives. EQ-i 2.0 is a Level B assessment which means it can only be given by a certified administrator.
Applications of emotional intelligence include:
- Leadership Development
- Selection
- Organizational Development
- Executive Coaching
- Team Building
- Student Development
- Strategic Implications
EQ360 is the gold standard for Multi-Rater Assessments
The Multi-Rater Assessment or 360 degree Assessment combines your personal assessment, based on your personal perceptions, with the perceptions of others who know you well. It requires both you and others to fill out the assessment.
The available reports are:
- Workplace Report: This report provides a comprehensive interpretation of an individual’s emotional intelligence; including an overview of the results, description of each of the 15 EQ-i 2.0 sub-scales and strategies for action.
- Leadership Report: This report uses a leadership competency framework to provide an interpretation of an individual’s emotional intelligence. Additionally the report includes a leadership potential page showing the link between the leadership competencies and emotional intelligence and leadership derailers.
- Group Report: This report combines the EQ-i 2.0 scores of individuals to allow you to make interpretations at the group or team level. This report presents an overview of group results to identify group strengths as well as the areas where the group as a whole can be more effective.
- EQ 360 Report: This report includes information about an individual’s self-ratings combined with the ratings of managers, peers and direct reports. The profile gap analysis page examines the level of agreement between the self-scores and the rater-group scores.
- EQ 360 Leadership Report: This report combines the existing Leadership and EQ 360 reports to offer a comprehensive view of an individual’s EI results through four key dimensions of leadership.
The Emotionally Effective Leadership Series
The business case for EQ based leadership training is clear. EQ is scientifically shown to be more important than IQ in determining career success. This is because regardless of how intelligent we may be, if we turn others off with our behavior, are unaware of how we present ourselves or how we handle stressful situations, our intellect won’t matter.
Traditional leadership programs fall short because they are typically not tied to your mission, culture or strategy. This leadership program begins with your mission and strategy and will be designed to support your organization’s desired culture. The facilitator for this series is a seasoned business executive, strategist and executive coach.
The Emotionally Intelligent Leadership Series includes six program modules, breakout groups, and case studies between sessions where indicated. Goal setting, cross-functional team building exercises and issue analysis sessions can also be incorporated. The final design of the program would follow a discovery meeting with the engagement sponsor. This program can be run virtually or in-person. One-on-one individual executive coaching can also be incorporated as indicated.
Team coaching workshops designed around business issues are available to supplement this leadership series.
