Why matters
One thing to try this week
Ask your team
Leaders consistently rank themselves differently than their teams would. Pick one person you lead and ask them to rank these three for you. Their answer is the real result.
Does your ranking hold up?
Your ranking is a hunch. The L.E.A.D. Assessment tests it: you rate 26 leadership habits across these three competencies, see how you think your team sees you, and get feedback and coaching questions for your focus area, plus a plan to work from.

GO DEEPER
Go deeper with an assessment.
The L.E.A.D. Assessment is a quick read on 26 leadership habits, with feedback on each. The EQ-i is a self-assessment of emotional intelligence (EQ). It shows you how you see your leadership, which is where growth starts. The EQ 360 adds the perspective of the people you work with, so you can see if there is a gap between how you see yourself and how others see you. Each one gives you a report you can act on; the EQ-i and EQ 360 also include a 45-minute debrief with an ICF-credentialed coach.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Good to know
How do I know which assessment is right for me?
Start with the free Pulse Check if you're just exploring how you lead across growth, performance, and trust. The EQ-i Leadership and EQ 360 go deeper into the emotional intelligence behind how you lead, with the 360 adding feedback from your manager, peers, and direct reports. If you're unsure, talk to an advisor.
What happens after I purchase?
For the EQ-i Leadership and EQ 360, we'll be in touch to schedule your 45-minute debrief and walk you through the next steps, including how to complete the assessment and, for the 360, how to invite your raters.
Who delivers the debrief for the EQ-i and EQ 360?
An ICF-credentialed coach from eLeadership Academy who is also certified to interpret the EQ-i and EQ 360. The 45-minute session is designed to help you make sense of your results and decide where to focus.
Can my employer pay for this?
Yes. Each assessment offers three ways to pay: purchase directly, request an invoice for employer reimbursement, or request employer approval with a pre-formatted message you can send to your manager.
Do these assessments count toward the Certificate in Applied Leadership?
No. Assessments are standalone and separate from the Certificate in Applied Leadership. They can be a useful starting point before the pathway, or a way to keep developing after. The certificate itself is earned through the CAL pathway.
Are my results confidential?
Yes. Your results are your own and are treated confidentially. For the EQ 360 specifically, individual rater responses are kept anonymous, with minimum thresholds applied before group results are shown, so raters can give honest feedback.
