Last year we became certified at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, with Hay Associates and Richard Boyatzis who co-authored Primal Leadership with Daniel Goleman. We have conducted a few seminars with clients last year and administered the ESCI (Emotional and Social Competency Instrument) to a number of managers, and have seen some dramatic insight and change. This highly validated instrument helps identify competencies of exceptional performers. We're starting to use these EI competencies in our coaching engagements as another tool to identify developmental needs. 

Emotional Intelligence, also known as EQ is the ability to recognize, understand and manage emotions in yourself, and in your interactions with others. EQ is a great foundation for executive coaching. The research behind EQ is impressive and there is solid evidence that managers with high EQ are better leaders and more productive. People with high EQ have the ability to flourish where others flounder. It's the perfect benchmark to start an executive coaching engagement.

Emotional intelligence is made up of four unique competencies that show how you recognize and understand emotions, how you manage your behavior, and how you use those emotions to manage relationships. A person with the same IQ as another can be vastly more successful because he or she knows how to manage behavior, navigate social complexities, and make personal decisions that achieve results.

The ESCI is an effective tool to determine whether executive coaching can help a leader become more effective. It's also perfect for high potentials and emerging leaders to identify key areas for development.

We can administer the ESCI and interpret the results with the leader and his/her manager to assess key areas for behavior improvement. As a result of this process high priority areas for increased effectiveness are quickly identified. If you truly want to see change at that point, you should consider hiring an executive coach to help the leader through the change process. Learn more about our special pricing for this assessment.
