Leadership assessment
Discover the Impact of Your ELI and DiSC Debrief
You already know how you lead on a good day. The Energy Leadership Index shows you how you lead on a hard one, and what the gap between the two is costing you.
What Is the Energy Leadership Index Assessment?
The Energy Leadership Index (ELI) includes 70 self-rating questions to assess a leader's energy levels across seven core areas. Participants receive a detailed report comparing their responses in normal and stressful situations, offering insights into their behaviors.
The debrief session highlights key themes and provides tools for growth, helping the participant understand focus areas for future coaching and how to improve their leadership effectiveness.
The ELI is a four-part assessment that provides insights into how individuals approach leadership and handle challenges. It evaluates seven levels of energy, reflecting mental or emotional responses that are often described as anabolic (growth-focused) and catabolic (energy-draining).
Levels of Leading Self and Others
The assessment helps participants understand how to use these energy levels to achieve their goals. Ideally, leaders strive to operate at the highest level, Level 7, where they experience life without judgment and apply a balance of effort and ease when facing challenges.
The ELI debrief helps participants consider how their normal and stressful responses influence the way they lead themselves, communicate with others, and approach challenges.
In the ELI model, leaders operating with more anabolic energy show stronger leadership skills and are seen as more competent by their colleagues. Leaders carrying more catabolic energy tend to be less confident, and are perceived as less effective.
Unlock Better Teamwork With DiSC
The DiSC assessment is a tool that reveals how people naturally work and communicate. Through a questionnaire, it identifies four core behavioral styles:
- Dominance
- Influence
- Steadiness
- Conscientiousness
DiSC builds stronger communication and deeper self-awareness. For managers and teams, it explains how one person's profile lands on everyone around them.
