#328: I took an Emotional Intelligence assessment and got a shock!
About this episode
Ben shares his surprising experience with an emotional intelligence assessment and its implications for leadership development.
In this episode, Ben shares his experience of taking an emotional intelligence assessment and the surprising results that came back. The assessment highlighted strengths as well as areas where his emotional intelligence was lower than expected. Rather than viewing this as negative feedback, Ben reflects on how insights like this can improve self‑awareness and leadership development. The episode explores how assessments and feedback can help leaders better understand how they show up at work and how their behaviour affects others. By approaching the results with curiosity rather than defensiveness, leaders can identify opportunities to grow and improve their effectiveness. Resources mentioned in this episode: Work with Ben.
