The Emotional Intelligence Profile
The Emotional Intelligence Profile (EIP) is the most comprehensive emotional intelligence assessment instrument on the market today, measuring 24 distinct emotional intelligence competencies. Now people can instantly see their strengths and potential vulnerabilities when it comes to emotional intelligence. The EIP is available as a self-assessment electronically via the web, complete with practical suggestions on how an individual can strengthen and enhance his emotional intelligence. The EIP is also available in a 360 version in which an individual's manager, peers, direct reports, business partners, and others can provide anonymous, confidential feedback in order to help him become more aware of how he is perceived by others.

What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is a form of intelligence that drives our success in work, in life, and in our relationships with others. While the concept of emotional intelligence is starting to become more widely understood, many are still somewhat unsure of exactly what it is and how it can add to their success on the job and in their personal lives.

Emotional intelligence is about being aware of ourselves and others, in the moment, and using that awareness to manage ourselves (our behavioral responses to stressful or challenging situations), and manage our relationships with others. The truth is, the most successful people in work and in life have the ability to manage themselves and manage their relationships with others. Emotional intelligence (EI or EQ) encompasses many skill sets, including stress management, resilience, managing conflict, powerful influencing skills, catalyzing change, teamwork and collaboration, building trust and much more.

Unfortunately, we recognize emotional intelligence most when it's lacking - think of the boss who explodes when a deadline is missed, or the co-worker whom no one trusts. These people are limited by their lack of EQ skills. The good news? EQ can be learned and strengthened throughout our lives. It's never too late to add these essential skills and research indicates the quickest way to enhance your EQ skills is through coaching.

Margaret
Margaret (front/center next to Dr. Marty Seligman) graduated in May 2006 from the University of Pennsylvania with a Master of Applied Positive Psychology - the first graduate program of its kind that focuses on what's right about organizations and the people in them. Her thesis study, "Optimistic Managers and Their Influence on Productivity and Employee Engagement in Technology Organization" (The article begins on page 78. In addition, editorial comments can be found on pages 7 and 101.) appears in the April 2007 issue of the International Coaching Psychology Review - a publication that focuses on the theory, practice and research in the field of coaching. Her research findings also appear in two Gallup Management Journal articles:

NEW TOPIC: Positive Strengths-Based Leadership

While the approach to any given consulting engagement will vary based on the needs of the client, the work of The Greenberg Group is guided by these core principles:

  • The organization - has expertise and knowledge that can be leveraged
  • The team - can create real breakthroughs via open and candid dialogue
  • The individual - learns more through self-discovery than a consultant administering advice
