2) EQ-i 2.0 Leadership Report

As an option, client’s results can be compared against those of top leaders, creating a coaching benchmark for exceptional EI performance.

This report provides the participants’ individual scores while maintaining their anonymity. An overview that identifies group strengths, as well as areas where the group can be more effective, is presented. Implications at an organizational level are examined and strategies for action that can further develop the group’s potential are recommended.
Specific applications for this report are:
