EQ-i 2.0 & EQ 360 for Leaders & Teams

Building Emotionally Intelligent Leaders and High-Performing Teams

The Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i 2.0) is the world’s most widely recognized tool for assessing emotional intelligence (EI). Scientifically validated and backed by decades of research, EQ-i 2.0 helps individuals and teams build emotional intelligence skills essential for thriving in hybrid work environments and navigating the challenges of the future workplace.

Paired with the EQ 360 multi-rater assessment, this tool offers a 360-degree view of your emotional intelligence, helping leaders, teams, and organizations unlock their full potential.

What is Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your emotions while effectively influencing the emotions of others. Rooted in the work of Mayer, Salovey, and popularized by Daniel Goleman, EQ has become a foundational skill for leadership and teamwork.

As Maya Angelou said:

​"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel." EQ-i 2.0 assessments focus on enhancing these crucial connections.

The EQ-i 2.0® and EQ 360® Model

Scientifically Validated Tools for Lasting Impact

The EQ-i 2.0® and EQ 360® measure emotional intelligence (EI) and its impact on individuals and the workplace. They provide a comprehensive EI score, subdivided into five composite scores:

  1. Self-Perception: Emotional self-awareness and confidence.

  2. Self-Expression: Assertiveness and communication.

  3. Interpersonal: Empathy and building strong relationships.

  4. Decision-Making: Problem-solving and impulse control.

  5. Stress Management: Resilience and adaptability.

 

Each composite is further broken into 15 subscales, delivering nuanced insights for personal and professional growth. Unlike IQ, emotional intelligence evolves, and EQ-i assessments target specific areas for continuous improvement.

Applications of Emotional Intelligence:

EQ assessments are essential for:​

  • Leadership Development: Build emotionally intelligent leaders.

  • Executive Coaching: Foster resilience and strategic thinking.

  • Team Development: Enhance collaboration and communication.

  • Organizational Development: Drive engagement and innovation.
