what we see

We see confusion about Emotional Intelligence

Because there are wide-ranging approaches to the theory, application and measurement of Emotional Intelligence, Future Factor is asked to consult in the following areas:

Integrating Emotional Intelligence into training, development and coaching programmes

CEOs, consultants, coaches and training professionals ask us about:

  • What EI measurement tools to use for selection, 360-degree feedback, individual development, team development and/or organisational development (see below).
  • How to accelerate Executive Coaching results by using EI psychometrics and EI coaching.
  • Designing bespoke development programmes (both EI and non-EI).
  • How to align employee behaviour with competency and/or values frameworks (see below).
  • Underpinning leadership and management development programmes with EI to create managers and leaders with an even greater capacity for leading and managing complexity, relationships and change.
  • Train-the-EI-trainer and train-the-EI-coach programmes (see below).

Integrating Emotional Intelligence with competency and values frameworks

One of the most powerful applications of EI is its ability to help align employee attitudes with the behavioural outcomes an organisation needs to achieve its goals.  Therefore, we are asked to:

  • create development programmes and coaching programmes that align employee behaviour with corporate values.  (Particularly coming true of brand values where companies are looking for their employees to ‘live the brand’).
  • create development programmes and coaching programmes that align employee behaviour with competency and behavioural frameworks, e.g. leadership frameworks, etc.
  • do similar with respect to readying the talent pool for succession.
  • facilitate the strategic development of value and behavioural frameworks for the Board or Senior Management Team.

Selecting the right psychometric for the right result

This may seem obvious.  However, we often see the ‘right result’ being compromised by the selection of the ‘wrong’ tool.  Consequently, we advise Senior Management, consultants, coaches and training professionals who want the best possible results in:

Employee selection

  • The right EI measures to use for employee and Executive selection.

Individual development

  • The best EI measures to use for developing the performance of individuals in managerial, leadership and Executive positions.
  • The best EI measures for 360-degree feedback for developing the performance of individuals in managerial, leadership and Executive positions.

Team development

  • The most informative EI measures to use for developing team performance. 

Organisational development

  • The best EI measures to use for whole-company development.  (For strategic HR and can also be used for detailed employee engagement surveys and for informing IiP strategy).

Train-the-trainer/train-the-coach programmes

We work with clients to provide psychometric accreditation, coach supervision and train-the-EI-trainer/train-the-EI-coach programmes so that they have effective, Emotionally Intelligent in-house coaches and trainers.
