Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence (EI) is how well a person understands and manages their emotions and the emotions of others, as well as how they use this knowledge to manage relationships. Developing these skills is critical in the workplace, with strong emotional intelligence being linked to high performance, and is especially important in leadership positions. The Thomas Emotional Intelligence assessment measures EI, providing answers to questions such as:
How aware are your people of their strengths and limitations?
How adaptable are they to change?
How can they understand the emotions of others?
How does an individual handle conflict?
Does this person excel at developing relationships?
How self-motivated and adaptable is this person?
How does this person react to pressure?
