A Mirror That Reflects Your World 

The Energy Leadership™ Index (E.L.I.) is a one-of-a-kind assessment that enables leaders to hold up mirrors to their perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, and overall leadership capabilities.  The E.L.I. reveals the specific filters you have developed (how you see the world) and how they are influencing your life. It also uncovers the thoughts and perceptions that cause stress or get in the way of achieving your goals. The good news is that you can change the thoughts, perceptions and behaviors which are holding you back. The E.L.I. results are very valuable in identifying your areas of development and strengths, your baseline for your current performance and situation. The realizations that you will gain from the Energy Leadership assessment and debrief process alone will change the way you view your world and are helping to have the right focus in your coaching from the start. There is also a 360 E.L.I version in which 36 leadership competencies are evaluated in addition. The results show how others see you as a leader and how you see yourself.

 

Background: An Attitudinal Assessment

There are two main types of assessments: Personality and Attitudinal. Personality based assessments, such as Myers Briggs and D.I.S.C. are very valuable tools that pinpoint certain personality types so that people can have more of an understanding about what their strengths and weaknesses are. By understanding your personality and how it relates to what you do, you can adapt your behavior to "work with what you have," to function effectively.

 

The E.L.I. is an attitudinal assessment, which is based on an energy/action model. This assessment differs from personality assessments as it is not intended to label a person and have them work well within that label. Instead, it measures your level of energy based on your attitude, or perception and perspective of your world. Because attitude is subjective, it can be altered. By working with a coach using the E.L.I., you can alter your attitude and perspective, make a shift in your consciousness, and increase your energy and leadership effectiveness. 

 

There are no limits as to the potential growth that you can achieve. Once you realize that your level of consciousness is directly related to your actions, you can move from functioning effectively, to functioning optimally.

 

As part of the Energy Leadership Index assessment and debrief process, you will learn about the 7 levels of leadership and how much energy you currently have in the catabolic-suppressing range and in the anabolic-inspirational range.  You will be debriefed on the findings of the assessment, and coached on how to navigate yourself to higher performance.


Forbes Coaches Council recommends the ELI Assessment as “...one assessment they highly recommend executives take.”
