The 360° Leader: Emotional Intelligence in Leadership

Description: 

Self-assessments are helpful, but the ultimate gauge of progress for leaders is a 360° assessment. This course involves a 360° emotional intelligence assessment utilizing the EQ360. It is meant to serve as an outcome measure of progress and change after taking the self-administered Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i®) as part of the Emotional Intelligence series. You will re-take the EQ-i® to rate your level of emotional intelligence, and select from among managers, peers, direct reports, family and friends, and others to also rate their emotional intelligence via the EQ360. You will also examine the open-ended responses in several areas including:

  • What actions should be done less?
  • What should be done more?
  • Areas of leadership others believe are an opportunity for growth.
  • Areas of leadership others believe are strengths.
  • How others perceive your handling of challenges in the workplace.
