Leaders Emotional Insight Program™ (LEIP)

MSCEIT™ Professional Test User Certification Program

Leaders Emotional Insight Program™ (LEIP)

Overview

The Leaders Emotional Insight Program™ is a powerful two day workshop designed for managers who want to understand how the power of the mind can influence results they hope to achieve. It also focuses on how feelings (moods and emotions) play a central role in leadership effectiveness. The workshop uses a combination of psychological techniques to help assist managers to develop their emotional intelligence (EI) by focusing on the four pillars of EI (the ability to identify emotions, to use emotions, to understand emotions, and to manage emotions) from a workplace perspective. An ability EI measure will also be administered to participants by a registered psychologist who will provide participants with individual reports.

What sets the workshops apart from other EI programs?

• The LEIP workshop teaches participants to look at thoughts and emotions, rather than through them.
• The LEIP workshop has direct links with many leadership capability frameworks.
• The LEIP workshop is deeply ground in psychology theory and organisational development practice.
• The LEIP workshop is facilitated by EI experts who have undertaken extensive international research and worked across a diverse range of clients and industries in developing EI in managers.

If you are interested in attending a public LEIP™ workshop, please go to our Events & Workshops section for specific dates and locations. Alternatively we can customise the program and run it in-house for a group of managers by offering a competitive quote. The advantages of an in-house program are significantly reduced costs and reduce travel time for employees. We will also work with you to customize the program to meet the needs of your organisation and if you have a Human Resource or Organisation Development team we can transfer much of the course content allowing them to run future programs. Please send your initial interest using the enquiry form.

MSCEIT Professional Test User Certification Program

In 1990, Peter Salovey and John Mayer drew together much of the material available on cognition (i.e., capacity to carry out abstract reasoning) and emotion (defined as signals that convey regular, discernable meanings about relationships) and developed the first theory of Emotional Intelligence. Their most recent definition suggests that EI is the “…ability to recognise the meanings of emotions and their relationships and to reason and problem-solve based on them”, often referred to as the Ability Based Model of EI.

EI is seen as the capacity to perceive emotions, assimilate emotion-related feelings, understand the information of those emotions, and manage them. This definition of EI is measured through the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT™).

The MSCEIT™ is an ability measure of EI requiring participants to complete a set of tasks associated with either perceiving emotion, using emotion, understanding emotional information or managing emotions.  It contains 141 items which are broken down into eight tasks, which are further divided into four branches of abilities including (a) perceiving emotion, (b) using emotion to facilitate thought, (c) understanding emotion, and (d) managing emotions.
