Introducing TESI – Team Social and Emotional Intelligence.

The TESI ® is a scientific tool modeled on the EQ-i2.0 but specifically focused on how to assess and improve teamwork. Each team member answers an online questionnaire consisting of a number of statements where each team member rates the team’s behaviours, engagements and skills from his or her perspective. A report is generated which allows all team members and the leaders to understand how the team functions and how effective it is in reaching its goals.

When each team member rates the team’s skills from his or her perspective everyone can see where the team feels it is strong as well as where it is struggling. The report offers unique insights and points the way for understanding your current strengths and weakness as a team and to strategically choose where and how to enhance your skills in the following 7 areas:

  1. Team identity: measures the level of pride each member feels for the team as a whole, and how much connection members feel to the team.
  2. Motivation: measures the team’s internal resources for generating and sustaining the energy necessary to get the job done well and on time.
  3. Emotional Awareness measures how well team members accept and value one another.
  4. Communication provides information on how well team members listen, encourage participation, share information and discuss sensitive matters.
  5. Stress Tolerance measures how well the team understands the types of stress factors and the intensity impacting its members and the team as a whole.
  6. Conflict Resolution measures how willing the team is to engage in conflict openly and constructively without needing to get even.
  7. Positive Mood measures the positive attitude of the team in general as well as when it’s under pressure.

TESI combined with the EQ-i2.0– a Blueprint for Success

The TESI provides team information. However, because teams are made up of individuals, team perform better when individuals also focus on understanding and developing their own social end emotional intelligence and the combined individual and team skills are implemented with discipline. Interpersonal relationships are important and the best predictor of how a team works together. EQ-i2.0 and TESI combine both the individual and team skills .Emotional intelligence comes out as a very important element in enabling people to work together towards their goals and is especially important when it comes to managing diversity with empathy, problem solving, decision-making, social responsibility and interpersonal relationships as prime factors.
