Energy Leadership Index Assessment

What’s Energy Leadership?

Energy Leadership™ is a process that helps you develop a personally effective style of leadership that positively influences and changes you and those around you, along with your organization as a whole.

Energy Leadership is defined by two key components, leadership and organizations.

Leadership is all about how you interact with everyone, including yourself.  We tend to think of leaders as business owners, CEOs, and managers at various levels. Traditionally, leadership also extends into politics and other global affairs.  However, parents, therapists and health care providers, solopreneurs, sports coaches, consultants, mentors, partners in relationships, teachers, authors, and others who interact with people on a regular basis are all leaders. EVERYONE is a leader either by choice or default.

If you don't think of yourself as a leader, I’d ask you to reconsider. Leading is the way we help move people, including ourselves, into action. The question is not whether or not we are leaders, but how well we lead.

As for organizations, they are not limited to business.  All of the groups, teams, and people around you are organizations, too. An organization can encompass the colleagues you work with and the family you go home to.  Your organization includes everyone within your many circles of influence. Each of us is a part of many organizations.

A Mirror That Reflects Your World

The Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) is a one-of-a-kind assessment that enables leaders to hold up mirrors to their perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, and overall leadership capabilities.  The ELI forms the initial launching point for the coaching relationship. The debrief process alone will change the way you view your world.

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 gain an understanding of 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 ELI 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 your coach using the ELI, you can alter your attitude and perspective, make a shift in your consciousness, and increase your energy and leadership effectiveness.

As part of the Energy Leadership Index assessment and debrief process, you'll learn about the 7 levels of leadership. You'll be debriefed on the findings of the assessment and coached on how to navigate yourself to higher performance.
