Part V: creating the EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 2.0
EQ-i 2.0 Leadership Report Interpretive Guide
Leadership Report Features
The Leadership Report builds off of the foundation of the Workplace Report, with several added enhancements. This section describes the enhancements that have been incorporated into the Leadership Report, including the main features of the report, as well as several optional features that you can turn on or off.
Main Report Features
INTRODUCTION
The EQ-i 2.0 Leadership Report includes an Introduction page for your client that outlines the following:
- A guide to understanding the report
- The link between emotional intelligence and leadership
- Tips for getting the most out of the report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
An Executive Summary page showcases the client’s three highest and three lowest scoring EI skills. You can quickly pinpoint areas in which the client excels—areas that help fuel organizational and personal performance—as well as areas that are in need of development, in order to harness the client’s leadership ability.
| If there is a tie for the third highest and/or third lowest score among EI skills, the following note will appear: Note: You have other subscales that have tied for the highest/lowest three scores. |
OVERVIEW OF RESULTS PAGE
The EQ-i 2.0 Leadership Report is built on the research-based and theoretical underpinnings of the EQ-i 2.0 Model. The model preserves the foundation and integrity of the original EQ-i (Bar-On, 1997) while featuring improvements to the standardization, reliability, and validity of the original assessment.
The Leadership Report contains the same EQ-i 2.0 Total EI, composite, subscale, and Validity Indicator scores as the Workplace Report (provided the same norms are chosen). The Leadership Report presents an interpretation of the EQ-i 2.0 results through a leadership lens, and allows you to discover how your client’s scores and results fare in comparison to top leaders.
SUBSCALE PAGES
On every EQ-i 2.0 subscale page, your client will be provided with an interpretation of his/her score, the associated leadership and organizational impact, and some strategies to help leverage each EI skill to reach his/her full potential in a given leadership role. As with the Workplace Report, there is also an option to turn on the Balancing EI section, which helps the client understand the importance of achieving balance across his/her EQ-i 2.0 profile.
Optional Report Features
LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL PAGE
- The Leadership Potential page examines four key leadership dimensions (Authenticity, Coaching, Insight, and Innovation) (see Creating the Leadership Potential Page in the Development of the EQ-i 2.0 Leadership Report section) and highlights associated and relevant EI skills (based on research and theory) that help promote success in the client’s leadership role.
- A leadership derailers section examines how low scores for specific EI skills may particularly hamper leadership success.
- If the Leadership Potential page is turned on, graphical icons will appear on every subscale page linking the subscale to the four leadership dimensions.
The leadership dimensions are as follows:
Authenticity
An authentic leader serves as a role model for moral and fair behavior. A transparent approach commands esteem and confidence from employees.
Coaching
A leader who coaches effectively is seen as a mentor who supports employee growth. Employees are nurtured towards achieving their highest levels of performance.
Insight
A leader provides insight by sharing a purpose and hopeful vision for colleagues to follow. Employees are compelled and inspired to exceed goals.
Innovation
An innovative leader focuses on taking risks, spurring colleagues’ ingenuity and autonomous thought. Knowledge is valued and challenges are viewed as learning opportunities.
LEADERSHIP BAR
A yellow leadership bar appears on the Overview of Results page, and above all other bar graphs on every subscale page. The Leadership Bar highlights how the client’s scores fare in comparison to top leaders (see Creating the Leadership Bar in the Development of the EQ-i 2.0 Leadership Report section). The client can focus development efforts in areas in which he/she scored lower than other successful leaders, in order to maximize his/her leadership capability.
If the Leadership Bar is turned on, interpretive text describing your client’s score in relation to the leadership bar will appear in the “What Your Score Means” section of every subscale page.
If the Leadership Bar is turned off, a yellow bar will not appear:
CURRENT LEADERSHIP TOPIC PAGES
Three current topics in leadership are explored using the EQ-i 2.0 model. Best practices are suggested for leveraging EI to provide your client with guidance in:
- Managing conflict
- Achieving work-life balance
- Leading a multigenerational team
You may choose to turn on one, some, or all of these leadership topic pages depending on the nature of the leadership issues you and your clients are working with. These leadership topics help ensure that the report delivers a thorough overview of current and relevant leadership issues and can help you apply EI as a solution to the challenges and business issues that your client may encounter.
The same optional features on the Workplace Report are available for the Leadership Report. -Turn on/off scores, labels and Confidence Intervals |
