As defined by the following leading pioneers, Emotional Intelligence (EI) is:
Mayer, Salovey & Caruso, 2004 “EI is the capacity to reason about emotions, and the use of emotions to enhance thinking. It includes the abilities to accurately perceive emotions, to access and generate emotions so as to assist thought, to understand emotions and emotional knowledge and to reflectively regulate emotions so as to promote emotional and intellectual growth.”
Goleman, 1998 “It is the capacity for recognising our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships.”
Bar-On, 2005 “Emotional-social intelligence is a cross section of interrelated emotional and social competencies, skills and facilitators that determine how effectively we understand and express ourselves, understand others and relate with them, and cope with daily demands.”
In order to determine what pertains effective leadership, RocheMartin conducted extensive research and analysis of 142+ scientific papers and the largest sample size of high-performing leaders – more than 180,000 profiles. Following this research and analysis it has emerged that there are 10 distinct emotional and social factors that form the basis of a unique emotional intelligence model that is linked to effective leadership. These emotional and social features of effective leadership behaviour have been described as Emotional Capital.
It has become increasingly evident that it is essential to develop leaders who possess high levels of Emotional Capital. This impacts and transforms leadership and employee behaviours that are required to drive business performance.
RocheMartin’s Emotional Capital Assessment Report draws on the emotional and social competencies identified by Daniel Goleman (1995) and Bar-On (1997) in their respective benchmark models. It is designed to measure an individual’s Emotional Capital against each of the 10 emotional and social competencies.
RocheMartin’s Emotional Capital Assessment Report which has been described as the world’s most advanced assessment for measuring and developing Emotional Intelligence is trusted and used by some of the world’s largest organisations such as Google, Oracle, ExxonMobil, Boeing, Mars and Allianz.
As a Certified Practitioner, I have personally found this assessment tool to be fundamental in supporting my clients to significantly improve their self-awareness of their Emotional Intelligence, allowing them to drive change in behaviour.
