Emotional Intelligence Assessments

EQ-i 2.0® & EQ 360® Emotional Intelligence Leadership Assessment in the UAE & GCC

Emotional Intelligence Is a Leadership Infrastructure Variable

Strategy does not collapse because leaders lack intelligence.
It collapses when emotional regulation fails under pressure.​

Emotional Intelligence is not a soft skill.
It is a measurable leadership capability that determines how executives interpret stress, influence stakeholders, regulate decisions, and shape team dynamics.​

At Forward Training & Consulting, Emotional Intelligence assessments are integrated into executive coaching and leadership systems advisory across the UAE and GCC.​

This is not a personality test.
It is diagnostic clarity for leadership behavior under pressure.

Why Emotional Intelligence Matters 

Organizations rarely fail because leaders lack technical capability.
They falter when emotional reactivity destabilizes decision ecosystems.

This typically appears as:

  • Adaptive leadership

  • Executive alignment

  • Cross-functional collaboration

  • Cultural stability

  • Human Sustainability

What EQ-i 2.0® Measures 

The EQ-i 2.0® and EQ 360® assess five composite areas critical to executive leadership:

  1. Self-Perception: Self-regard, self-actualization, emotional self-awareness.

  2. Self-Expression: Emotional expression, assertiveness, independence.

  3. Interpersonal: Empathy, social responsibility, relationship quality.

  4. Decision-Making: Reality testing, impulse control, problem-solving.

  5. Stress Management: Stress tolerance, optimism, resilience.

 

These dimensions provide structured insight into how leaders and teams operate within complex organizational systems.

Clarity precedes development.
Data precedes intervention.

Strengthening Adaptive Leadership Systems

In isolation, Emotional Intelligence improves awareness.
Integrated into leadership systems, it recalibrates performance.

  • Emotional Intelligence strengthens:

  • Executive decision discipline

  • Team interdependence

  • Conflict regulation

  • Cultural alignment

  • Strategic execution under pressure.


This is how organizations transition from reactive structures to interdependent leadership systems.
