Assessing Emotional Intelligence in Leadership
High Performance and Engagement Through Emotional Intelligence
Leadership is fundamentally about facilitating performance. Research has proven that a leader’s emotional intelligence is key to their capacity to facilitate emotions in others that drive high performance and employee engagement.
This is more than just a moral compass; it is a recipe for success. Organisations with emotionally intelligent leaders achieve a critical lever of sustainable competitive advantage: a high-performance culture and customer loyalty.
In high performing organisations people feel significantly more engaged, cared for, valued, proud, and motivated than those in low performing organisations.
Conversely, in low performing organisations people feel fearful, stressed, dis-engaged, dis-empowered and uncertain.
Beyond a Moral Compass: The Blueprint for Success
Emotional intelligence in leadership transcends the traditional view of a moral guide; it acts as a strategic asset. Organisations led by emotionally intelligent leaders don’t just thrive; they set the benchmark for industry excellence, nurturing cultures where commitment, pride, and motivation flourish.
In contrast, the atmosphere in less successful organisations can be marked by fear, stress, and disconnection. The difference? The presence and practice of emotional intelligence at all levels of leadership.
Measuring Emotional Intelligence for Transformative Leadership
At Core Purpose Ltd., we harness the power of the Genos Emotionally Intelligent Leadership Survey, the premier tool for gauging a leader's emotional intelligence. This survey precisely measures how leaders exhibit emotionally intelligent behaviours in comparison to their peers. The frequency and consistency with which these competencies are demonstrated are directly linked to their effectiveness and the overarching success of their teams.
A Visual Guide to Emotional Intelligence in Leadership
Our model illustrates the critical emotional intelligence competencies essential for effective leadership. Each competency is mapped out to show the constructive (productive) states that propel organisations forward and the unproductive states that may hold them back.
Discover how our approach to assessing and enhancing emotional intelligence can become the catalyst for remarkable leadership transformation within your organisation.
