SHRM Credits: This program is valid for 1.5 PDCs for the SHRM-CPSM or SHRM-SCPSM
Description: A 2013 survey conducted by Multi-Health Systems and the Human Capital Institute discovered that organizations who spend 31% or more of their training and development budget on leadership development are 12% more likely to report positive revenue growth.
The survey also discovered that many employees are dissatisfied with current organizational efforts towards leadership development. The training methods used most frequently were not in alignment with those found to be most effective. For example, workshops were used 80% of the time and only found to be 39% effective. Emotional Intelligence (EI) assessments were 60% effective but only used 37% of the time.
The most effective leadership development methods were in order: Emotional Intelligence Assessments (60%), Executive Coaching (60%), Global Assignments (59%) and Formal Mentoring Programs (58%).
Organizations that take steps the necessary steps to measure and track EI are 16% more likely to show positive revenue growth than organizations who value EI but don’t measure it.

Presenter: Gale Mote is a certified coach and facilitator for EQ-I 2.0®, a psychometric assessment which measures emotional intelligence and how it can impact people in the workplace.

EI is important because it can account for 25-30% of an individual’s success in any type of job. Further, the more someone progresses through the organizational hierarchy, the more important emotional skills become in their success. (Dulewicz and Higgs, 2003; Goleman et al., 2002.)
