At Harewood Consulting Inc. (HCi), we deliver professional EQ-i 2.0 emotional intelligence assessments to help businesses maximize leadership potential, enhance team dynamics, and drive organizational success.

The EQ-i 2.0 is a scientifically validated tool that measures emotional intelligence (EI)—the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions effectively in yourself and others. Emotional intelligence has been shown to be a critical factor in workplace performance, leadership development, employee engagement, and conflict resolution.

Through customized EQ-i 2.0 assessments and coaching, HCI helps companies build emotionally intelligent leaders and teams, leading to better communication, stronger relationships, and improved business outcomes.

5 Reasons Most Companies Need EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence Assessments

Develop Stronger, More Effective Leaders
Emotional intelligence is a top predictor of leadership success. EQ-i 2.0 identifies areas of strength and growth for leadership excellence.

Boost Employee Engagement and Retention
Leaders and managers with high emotional intelligence foster workplaces where employees feel valued, understood, and motivated to stay.

Enhance Team Collaboration and Communication
Understanding emotional dynamics helps teams work together more effectively, minimizing misunderstandings and improving performance.

Improve Conflict Resolution and Workplace Culture
Emotionally intelligent organizations handle conflict constructively and create healthier, more productive environments.

Adapt to Change with Greater Resilience
High-EI teams are better equipped to handle stress, uncertainty, and rapid change—a major advantage in today’s business environment.

5 Reasons Most Companies Don’t Use EQ-i 2.0 Assessments

Underestimating the Importance of Emotional Intelligence
Some organizations still prioritize technical skills over emotional skills, missing a key factor for leadership and team success.

Budget Limitations
Strategic assessments like EQ-i 2.0 are often cut from budgets in favor of short-term operational needs.

Lack of Awareness
Many executives and HR leaders are unfamiliar with the EQ-i 2.0 tool and how it differs from traditional performance assessments.

Fear of Sensitive Conversations
Emotional intelligence work often uncovers areas of vulnerability, making some leaders hesitant to engage in the process.

Absence of Certified Expertise
The EQ-i 2.0 must be administered and interpreted by certified professionals, which many companies lack internally.
