Establishing an Organization/Team/Group Baseline

Baselining an organization/team/group is essential for establishing a clear starting point from which progress can be measured. This process involves a comprehensive assessment of the current state of the organization/team/group, focusing on its operational capabilities, workforce competencies, current professional assessments, and existing challenges.

WE Consulting will work closely with senior leadership during the baselining process to bring structured, evidence-based methodologies to the assessment. By leveraging our expertise in leadership coaching, we can identify key areas for development and growth. We offer custom assessments and follow examples of industry assessments for the organization/team/group baseline, including:

- Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness (DISC) Profile Model

- Emotional Quotient Inventory Assessment, EQ-i 2.0 and/or EQ-i 360

- Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

Our team’s extensive experience with these emotional intelligence assessments leverages the combined value of EQ-i 2.0 and EQ-i 360 with DISC or MBTI assessments. This approach enhances the organizational baseline by providing comprehensive insights into both the cognitive and emotional aspects of the workforce.

WE Consulting’s certified coaches leverage leadership coaching as a vital tool to foster inclusive leadership practices. This approach enables leaders to grasp diverse perspectives, build trust within their teams, and cultivate a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Through regular coaching sessions, leaders reflect on their behaviors, receive constructive feedback, and devise strategies to enhance their effectiveness within the organization. As part of the learning and development industry standard, coaching involves guiding individuals to unlock their potential and maximize performance through a structured, goal-oriented process. Our consultants emphasize the importance of self-reflection, personal growth, and problem-solving skills, which are essential for effective leadership.

To enrich this process, WE Consulting employs a crosswalking of assessments, integrating emotional intelligence assessments with traditional methods. This dual approach delivers a comprehensive development experience, allowing individuals to enhance both their intellectual and emotional capacities. By crosswalking DISC or MBTI personality assessments with the EQ-i 2.0 and EQ-i 360, we provide a more holistic view of an individual's and team's capabilities. While DISC and MBTI focus on behavioral and personality preferences, the EQ-i assessments introduce an emotional intelligence dimension. This integrated strategy empowers individuals, teams, and groups to develop well-rounded plans for leadership development, team building, and organizational baselining.

The EQ-i 2.0 measures emotional intelligence across five composite areas (Self-Perception, Self-Expression, Interpersonal, Decision Making, and Stress Management) and 15 subscales. This assessment is a key factor in effective leadership coaching and team performance. High emotional intelligence is linked to better stress management, improved communication, and stronger interpersonal relationships that enhance employee wellness.

The EQ-i 360 assessment offers a comprehensive view of an individual's performance from multiple perspectives. By incorporating feedback from peers, subordinates, and supervisors, the EQ-i 360 provides a 360-degree view that is vital for organizational baselining. This multi-rater approach delivers holistic feedback, invaluable for identifying strengths and areas for development, ensuring a complete picture that might not be evident through self-assessment alone. This will promote a more accurate and actionable development plan. The EQ-i assessment provides a scientific approach to uncovering any blind spots in leadership and soft skill competencies.

These emotional intelligence assessments are essential for developing self-awareness, empathy, and effective communication skills, which are keys to success.

Our Teambuilding approach emphasizes active participation and experiential learning, assessing Psychological Safety and Emotional Intelligence through emotional intelligence assessments such as the Emotional Quotient Inventory 2.0, EQ-i 2.0, and EQ-i 360 to inform activities and discussions. Our Facilitators strengthen team cohesion and collaboration through personalized teambuilding sessions on topics like Psychological Safety and Emotional Intelligence for Effective Team Collaboration. They address both individual and collective needs, ensuring our sessions build strong, resilient teams capable of navigating the complexities of a hybrid work environment.

All EQ-i Individual & 360 assessments are available to help build stronger, more cohesive teams by promoting empathy, understanding, and effective interpersonal interactions. We couple all assessments with debriefing and structured Group, Team, and Individual Coaching plans, including leadership coaching and organizational baselining, to further enhance team dynamics.

WE Consulting's Trainers and Facilitators offer tailored programming focused on Emotional Intelligence (EI), a crucial set of emotional and social skills that shape how we perceive and express ourselves, build and maintain social relationships, tackle challenges, and effectively utilize emotional information. For nearly 20 years, both consultants and organizations have relied on the science behind emotional intelligence assessments like the EQ-i 2.0® (and its predecessor, the EQ-i 1.0) to enhance human performance. The EQ-i 2.0 serves as a psychometric assessment that measures emotional intelligence and its impact on individuals and the workplace. As the first scientifically validated measure of EI, supported by research from leading organizations, the EQ-i 2.0 provides the robustness and accuracy essential for your talent management initiatives, including leadership coaching and organizational baselining.
