What Your Team Needs Most

The Emotional Culture Index (ECI) helps leaders understand whether teams feel informed, valued, equipped—or stressed and uncertain—and where to focus first.
When leaders ask teams what they need, the answers are surprisingly consistent:
Clarity
Respect
Consistency
Feeling heard
Those aren’t policy issues.They’re emotional intelligence behaviors.
EI shows up when leaders:
Stay steady under pressure
Listen without defending
Address issues early and respectfully
That’s how trust is built—and how results follow.
Here’s a question every leader should reflect on:
“What emotions do people experience most when they work with me?”
Because those emotions drive:
Engagement or withdrawal
Accountability or avoidance
Performance or burnout
Emotional Intelligence gives leaders the tools to shape that answer—intentionally.
And that’s how cultures change.
