Elevate your Leaders Empower Your Teams

e-Factor^® Leadership is a cutting-edge emotional intelligence (EQ) assessment tool designed specifically for leaders and managers. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of emotional intelligence across key 12 competencies, helping leaders understand their strengths, identify areas for development, and align their growth with organisational goals.

The twelve competencies of emotional intelligence assessed by e-Factor Leadership are structured within the EmotionIntell™ model and divided across four quadrants. These competencies provide a comprehensive understanding of emotional intelligence and its application in leadership:

Self-Awareness

1. Perceive and Label Your Own Emotions: The ability to identify and accurately label your emotions in real-time.
2. Identify and Anticipate Triggers for Your Emotions: Recognising situations or interactions that provoke emotional responses.
3. Appraise the Appropriateness of Emotional Reactions: Evaluating whether your initial emotional responses align with your broader goals.

Self-Management

1. Interrupt Initial Emotional Reactions: The capacity to pause before reacting, ensuring thoughtful and intentional responses.
2. Adopt Strategies to Manage Your Emotions: Implementing effective techniques (e.g., reframing, mindfulness) to regulate emotions under pressure.
3. Initiate and Regulate Emotions to Support Goals: Cultivating the right emotional state (e.g., motivation, empathy) to achieve personal and professional objectives.

Social Awareness

1. Read Others’ Emotional Signals: Accurately interpreting non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice.
2. Hypothesise About Others’ Emotional States: Forming educated assumptions about others’ emotions to foster empathy and understanding.
3. Appraise Options for Actions Relative to Goals: Considering different ways to respond to emotionally charged situations and choosing actions aligned with long-term goals.

Social Interaction

1. Engage Others to Achieve Goals: Knowing how to initiate interactions that foster trust and collaboration in line with shared objectives.
2. Interact to Analyse and Understand Others: Using meaningful conversations to uncover others’ emotions, motivations, and perspectives.
3. Influence Others Towards Shared Goals: Guiding and inspiring others through emotional insight to achieve collective success.

These competencies serve as the foundation for assessing and developing emotional intelligence in leaders, helping them to improve decision-making, communication, and team dynamics.

Your e-Factor score, ranging from 0 to 200, is calculated using data from three key assessment elements:

• 70% from the KUSA Test: An objective evaluation of how you apply EQ in situational judgment scenarios.
• 20% from 360° Feedback: Insights from peers, team members, and supervisors.
• 10% from Self-Assessment: Your own perception of your emotional intelligence.
  This triangulated approach ensures accurate, unbiased, and actionable results.

The 360° feedback element gathers insights from 3 to 5 colleagues, direct reports, and supervisors to provide a balanced view of how others perceive your emotional intelligence. Participants receive clear instructions on how to complete the feedback, ensuring a seamless and insightful process. If time is limited, this component can be made optional while still delivering valuable insights from the self-assessment and KUSA test.

The self-assessment and KUSA test are available immediately and will take around 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete. The optional 360° feedback will take your participants 15 minutes to complete with results available instantly.

e-Factor Leadership identifies genuine areas for development, allowing organisations to focus training and development resources where they’re truly needed. This targeted approach reduces wasted time and costs associated with blanket training programmes, ensuring better ROI on talent development initiatives.

• Their overall e-Factor score.
• Performance across 12 core competencies within the four EQ quadrants: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Social Interaction.
