Leadership Diagnostics – to recognize strengths to be leveraged and opportunities to improve:

 

EQ - the largest differentiator in executive performance

EQ in Action Profile – In top leadership roles, emotional intelligence has been shown to account for 80% of the difference between the best performers and those who are considered average. This offers tremendous opportunity as research and experience has shown that any individual is capable of strengthening their EQ. The EQ in Action Profile measures your internal experience and provides valuable information about your core EQ capabilities. The assessment is most often used to build awareness and focus your development work where it has the largest impact.

A stand-alone EQ package is offered. It includes an in-depth written report, a personal debrief including additional analysis of the results, and a follow up session to structure and launch a plan to strengthen key capabilities.

Conflict Competence - for greater innovation and alignment

Conflict Dynamics Profile – How to handle conflict was found by a recent Stanford University study of CEOs to be the number one area for personal development. The Conflict Dynamics Profile helps you isolate hot buttons as well as passive and active constructive and destructive behaviors. The assessment also includes an organizational perspective on those behaviors most threatening to a career.

A stand-along package can be utilized. It consists of a full report including the above as well as how behaviors shift throughout the conflict process and an analysis of the differences in self and other perception of behaviors expressed during conflict. A full debrief and follow up session are included.
