Q Leadership Intelligence Origins
Q Leadership Intelligence evolved from High Performance Business Coaching in 2010 to Leadership with Empathy Emotion Intelligence Coaching and now Socially Intelligent Leadership Mentoring using the #Social Leader Method in the #3Q Leader Framework.
Our ‘Q’ is taken from IQ, EQ, SQ – the 3 Leadership Intelligences, which when used consciously in Leadership Maximize Organizational Performance.
Socially Intelligent Leadership generates Corporate Capital. It includes your Corporate Vision, Strategic Directions, Corporate Culture, Systems Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence, Equity and Diversity Performance, Company-wide initiatives and Organizational Performance Metrics.
“You cannot solve a problem with the mind that created it” ~ Albert Einstein
We offer a Leadership Model which distinguishes between and combines the Leadership Intelligences to Lead Powerful Collectives and stay Ahead of the Curve.
