Interpersonal Communication Assessment

Communication issues aren’t always obvious. But they show up—in delays, frustration, and missed opportunities. The strongest leaders don't assume communication is working. They know issues often hide in plain sight. Projects stall. Decisions get delayed. Talented people leave. But the real problems aren’t always visible—they’re systematic. Here’s a framework to help you spot what’s really going on --- The 6-Point Communication Checkup --- 1.) Team Dynamics Assessment ↳ Are team members asking for clarification repeatedly? ↳ Do you see signs of frustration during daily operations? 2.) Decision-Making Evaluation ↳ How long does it take to make routine decisions? ↳ Are all stakeholders involved when they should be? 3.) Information Silo Detection ↳ Which departments rarely collaborate on projects? ↳ Do employees understand how their work impacts others? 4.) Meeting Effectiveness Analysis ↳ Are your meetings achieving their stated objectives? ↳ Do action items get clear ownership and follow-through? 5.) Information Spread Monitoring ↳ How quickly do important updates reach everyone? ↳ Are there clear channels for top-down and bottom-up communication? 6.) Employee Engagement Evaluation ↳ Do team members actively participate in company-wide initiatives? ↳ Can employees clearly explain the organization's goals? The strongest leaders don’t assume communication is working. They systematically evaluate it. Of the six communication areas which would surface the most about your team's communication right now?

EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360°. As professionals and #leaders navigate the complexities of the modern workplace, the significance of Emotional Intelligence is beyond doubt. EI/EQ plays a crucial role in the success of an individual and the #organization. Understanding and harnessing #emotionalintelligence can lead to improved communication, better relationships, enhanced decision-making, effective stress management and increased productivity. On ‘World Emotional Intelligence Day’, as a globally certified EQ Assessor, I am sharing deatils of ‘EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360°’, a great tool for EI/EQ Assessment. One of the most widely used tools for assessing emotional intelligence is the EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360° Assessment developed by Multi-Health Systems (MHS). It comprises 5 key parameters and 15 sub-parameters that contribute to the assessment of an individual’s and even team's or group's emotional intelligence. 1️⃣ SELF-PERCEPTION: - Self-Regard - Self-Actualization - Emotional Self-Awareness 2️⃣ SELF-EXPRESSION: - Emotional Expression - Assertiveness - Independence 3️⃣ INTERPERSONAL: - Interpersonal Relationships - Empathy - Social Responsibility 4️⃣ DECISION MAKING: - Problem Solving - Reality Testing - Impulse Control 5️⃣ STRESS MANAGEMENT: - Flexibility - Stress Tolerance - Optimism The EQ-i 2.0 assessment provides a detailed report on an individual’s emotional intelligence, highlighting strengths and areas for development. Additionally, the EQ 360° assessment collects feedback from an individual’s peers, supervisors, and direct reports, providing a comprehensive view of their emotional intelligence from multiple perspectives. The reports generated include: - EQ-i 2.0 Individual Report - EQ-i 2.0 Leadership Report - EQ 360° Individual Feedback Report - EQ 360° Leadership Feedback Report Organizations can consider prioritizing EQ assessments in their #leadership and #organizationdevelopment strategies. It allows for targeted development initiatives that can enhance communication, collaboration, and overall performance. By fostering emotional intelligence, we can create more resilient, empathetic, and effective leaders who can lead their teams to greater heights of success. Let us all strive to cultivate emotional intelligence and create a more inclusive and emotionally intelligent workplace for a brighter future. I will conclude by saying, “Ability to recognize, understand, manage, and express emotions effectively is the real game changer. Be emotionally intelligent. It matters” (Write to me if you seek information or services on EQ Assessment.) #emotionalquotient #ei #eq #selfawareness Multi-Health Systems Inc. (MHS) Dr. Ragland Thomas G, PhD

After studying hundreds of teams across sectors, I've developed this quick assessment to help you gauge your team's current state: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 (𝟭-𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝟱-𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵): 🔄 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲: Team members understand and agree on the team's purpose and goals  📊 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀: The team consistently accomplishes what it sets out to achieve  🗣️ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Conversations are balanced, productive, and include diverse perspectives  🤝 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: There are clear agreements about how decisions will be made  💪 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Members buy into decisions without hidden reservations  ⚙️ 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Members share expertise in ways that enhance productivity  🔎 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The team regularly evaluates its process and productivity In my research, I've found that teams often score high on purpose but low on reflection—creating a dangerous hidden spot in their development. The most significant predictor? Teams that scored highest on "interpersonal communication" consistently outperformed all others on their ultimate outcomes.
