EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Developing effective leaders through emotional intelligence
​At Talent Authority, we believe effective leadership starts from within.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the blend of emotional and social skills that determines how we perceive, understand, and manage our own emotions—and how we build meaningful relationships with others. These abilities directly influence how leaders respond to the daily demands, pressures, and opportunities of work and life.
As part of someone's leadership journey, we recommend that they complete the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i)—one of the world’s most trusted and scientifically validated assessments for measuring Emotional Intelligence.
​
Backed by over 20 years of research and development, the EQ-i 2.0 Model provides a clear, evidence-based framework for understanding and enhancing emotional effectiveness at the individual, team, and organizational levels.
​
The insights gained from EQ-i results will help strengthen self-awareness, improve decision-making, and elevate someone's impact as a leader.
​

The Assessment
​
Leaders take a 131-item online self-rating assessment that utilizes the the EQ-I 2.0 model. The assessment takes approximately 20 minutes and it must be taken in one sitting without disruptions. There are no right or wrong answers.

Step 2: Purchase: Assessment report/results and debrief session.
Step 3: Book a 60-90-minute one-on-one debrief to obtain the results.

​
The Profile
​
The 360 Feedback Report is a 42-page report that helps participants deepen their understanding of their own emotional intelligence (as they see themselves) along with how others (raters) view them.
​
Additionally, individual results of several people (executive team) can be compiled into a group report that provides greater insight into how the team functions and can improve.
In-Person Developmental Feedback and Training
​
Once results are received, one of our coaches will go over the results one-on-one with the leader during a 90-minute coaching session. During the session, deep insight will be provided and action steps will be taken to improve leadership effectiveness. Be sure to select "with coaching" option when purchasing. The link is at the bottom of page.
​
Emotionally Effective Leader Workshop is available to a group of individuals who have taken the assessment. A group workshop will circumvent the need for one-on-one coaching.
