The Effect of Leader’s Emotional Intelligence and Adaptability on Perceived Leader Effectiveness.

Dear friends and colleagues,

Do emotional intelligence or adaptability influence leadership effectiveness?  You have an opportunity to participate in a Ph.D. research study exploring how emotional intelligence and adaptability impact leadership effectiveness. The results of this study will help inform decisions related to leader selection and development. Gabriel  Lewall, a Ph.D. candidate at The Chicago School who works as a Senior Organizational Effectiveness Consultant at a community-owned electric utility company, is leading this research project. If you are a leader who meets the eligibility criteria in the attached flyer, please complete the online survey (see link in flyer) which includes self-assessments of emotional intelligence, adaptability, and leadership effectiveness .  It should take you around 17-26 minutes to complete  and responses will only be reported in aggregated, anonymized form. You will be prompted to invite your supervisor to independently rate your leadership effectiveness, which will  take themapproximately 2-3 minutes.

As an appreciation for your time, you can enter a raffle to win 1 of 4 $40 VISA gift cards. Study participants will also be invited to join one of two 1.5-hour live webinars that will summarize the study results and that will offer education on strategies to develop emotional intelligence and adaptability skills as leaders. Your contribution is really appreciated, and it will not only help with  research but the results will also help inform evidence-based HPT interventions related to leader recruitment, training and development.

Thank you  for your participation!

Why AI4PI Matters

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping industries, revolutionizing work processes, and setting new benchmarks for performance metrics. The AI4PI Framework serves as a strategic compass, enabling practitioners to navigate this evolving landscape with confidence and purpose.

  4. Establish Governance and Risk Management: Implement robust strategies to manage risks and align AI solutions with organizational goals.

These principles safeguard against risks and foster alignment between technology and human values.

From Concept to Reality: Six Process Steps

The framework doesn't stop at principles. It offers six actionable steps to guide practitioners through every stage of AI implementation:

  1. Determine the Need and Readiness: Assess organizational preparedness and identify high-impact AI applications.
  2. Design Human-Centered Solutions: Craft tailored, efficient, and effective AI interventions.
  3. Develop AI-Human Interactions: Ensure intuitive interfaces and seamless collaboration between AI systems and users.
  4. Document Accuracy and Trustworthiness: Validate AI outputs to build confidence and reliability.
