Space for network members to start discussions, share ideas and resources, and/or raise questions.
Hello,
This discussion thread is intended as a space for continuing the conversation I had the opportunity to engage in with over 50 attendees on Thursday March 26th during an OD Network, NYC Chapter Event. The conversation centered on a topic for which I have much interests and passion: Emotional Intelligence, as it's enabler Emotional Competence.
If you are a member of our learning community and did not have the opportunity to attend the live session you can use the link below for a full description of the session. Topic: Emotional Competence (EQ): Implications for OD Practitioners. Use the link below for a full description of the session:

- Feel free to post questions here and I'll try my best to response;
- We would also like to hear any additional observations about the ideas shared during the session and any ideas you have about implications for practice (including OD, Executive Coaching, and/or Change Leadership); and
- Finally, please share useful related to this topic you have found useful, as well as, success stories.

Mindfulness does so good in this part. Emotion.
Hi Terry
Great paper, thank you very much. I had a follow up question please - many of the instruments that measure emotional and social intelligence are self instruments. Given the nature of what these instruments are trying to measure, and the importance of self-awareness in the overall picture, what is your view of the benefit of an instrument that has a 360 component?
Thanks
Liane
Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your question. As I noted during my ODN NYC presentation, EQ assessments can be organized into three general classes: (1) competency-based; (2) mixed (personality and behavior); and (3) ability. Of the three, only the ability is a "self-assessment" - yet it is a "power" test, that is, the score is based on performance on a series of task found to correlate with various EQ abilities, so this is very different than the typical "preference" grounded self-assessment.
The EQi, for example, has both a self-assessment version and a 360 version. The personality aspect of the EQi looks of consistency within response scales, so in that way, it is a bit more rigorous than a standardize self assessment, yet not perfect. That is why, in the past couple of years, they added a 360 version - which works well for the behavioral aspects of the scales, yet is less predictive for personality traits.
Finally, the competency-based approaches for measuring EQ, while available in a self-assessment format, are most commonly employed via 360/multi-rater. I hope that helps... please advise..
It does, thanks Terry. I hadn't realised that EQi had added a 360 component. I am more familiar with the ESCI.
