Emotional competence differentiates successful leaders.

“Emotion can lead to our worst decisions or our best ones: The difference is emotional intelligence.” The challenge is to see the value of emotions, then to begin using these skills on a daily basis. Everyone has emotional intelligence -- for most of us, it's an underdeveloped area and an untapped resource that requires careful application. "Anyone can become angry – that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not easy. Aristotle

Most managers are promoted for their technical and business skills – but find the “soft side” hard. Engaging people in change, proactively resolving issues, setting a context for performance, building collaboration... they all require emotional competence. To change the outcomes, your leaders need to change the inputs – and to do so they need new awareness, attitude, and skills. At Think EQ, we use the online Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Assessment (SEI™) that provides a solution to help leaders measurably improve. The tool assesses competence and delivers a practical roadmap for development. “Under” the three pursuits live eight specific, learnable, measurable competencies.

SEI predicts over 54% of important success factors: effectiveness, relationships, quality of life, and health – essential outcomes for thriving teams.
