Emotional Intelligence Assessment
The secret of success is not what they taught you at school. What matters most is not IQ, not technical knowledge or years of expertise. The single most important factor in job performance and advancement is emotional intelligence.
Emotional Intelligence is a set of skills that can be assessed and developed.
The BarOn model of Emotional Intelligence defines it as "an array of emotional, personal and social competencies which influence one's overall ability to cope effectively with daily environmental demands and pressures"
The EQI assessment tool measures the following:
Interpersonal components
Adaptability components
|
Intrapersonal components
Stress management components
General mood
|
What does the research say?
There has been much research into the impact of high emotional intelligence and star performers ( Goleman 1995 ) and how the higher performers had higher emotional intelligence.
Research completed by the The Centre for Creative Leadership in the USA. Identified that those leaders who had the most positive feedback re effectiveness also had the highest levels of emotional intelligence.
Generally higher levels of emotional intelligence can account for between 3 and 27% of occupational success.
Emotional intelligence also impacts on every day relationships and the ability to have a successful marriage.
The EQI Assessment
This assessment was developed by Edward BarOn and has more validity testing behind the assessment tool than any other EI assessment tool.
What can the tool be used for along with Natures Coaching:
Selection and Succession
Used in conjunction with existing evaluation criteria (experience, qualifications, interview results), properly interpreted Emotional Intelligence test scores provide unprecedented predictability. You will better know whom to hire and whom to promote, have better success aligning the right people with the right jobs, and achieve greater clarity in planning for the succession of senior leadership.
Development
Emotional Intelligence is elastic. Those who lack it can acquire it; those who have it can enhance it. EQI Emotional Intelligence test identifies areas of strength and weakness that training and coaching can be designed around. People at every level of the organisation, from new hires to senior managers, can develop their Emotional Intelligence skills and see their job performance improve significantly.
Leadership
As most experienced leaders are acutely aware, social and emotional competencies are critical to managerial success. The EQI tool, along with specialist offerings, can assist organisations in developing their current and future leaders.
