The Emotional and Social Competence Inventory (ESCI) is a multi-rater tool designed to assess emotional intelligence. The ESCI is based on the work of Dr. Daniel Goleman and Dr. Richard Boyatzis. The result is an assessment and development tool of unmatched precision and authenticity.
The ESCI provides clients precise and focused feedback on their strengths and limits. Based on the feedback from a variety of rater groups (i.e. self, manager, direct reports, peers, others), the ESCI indicates the specific emotional competencies where development is needed to enhance the individual's emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness.
