This is one reason why The Fearless Leaders Group talks about Return on Leadership (ROL) as much as ROI: if you’re investing in a leader, why not measure the return based on the lifetime value of that leader rather than next quarters or next year’s numbers?
The Emotional Intelligence and Mindfulness training that is an integral part of The Fearless Leaders Coaching Model has been around longer and therefore has compiled a more documented track record of business success.
The value of Emotional Intelligence in business comes from these factors:
1. Emotional Intelligence skills and scores accurately correlate with and account for performance differences in all jobs tested so far, ranging from top executives, sales associates, collection agents, call center techs, and more. Over tens of thousands of surveyed executives, managers, and workers have showed that EI accounts for the difference between star performers and everyone else.
2. Hiring and Promoting based on Emotional Intelligence scores has proven to dramatically increase performance, retention, and organizational effectiveness.
3. Emotional Intelligence can be developed and measurable, objectively validated progress and improvement can be achieved in as little as 3 months. In other words, Emotional Intelligence goes beyond preference-based tests because it provides direction for improvement.
The Fearless Leaders Group offers a range of custom coaching or consulting engagements suitable for most any organization serious about leadership development and measurable results.

Fearless Leaders tackles (and teaches) one of the most complex attributes of outstanding leaders throughout history, moral courage.
—Amy Edmondson
That's a tough one, moral courage is hard to teach and it's such an important quality for leaders. If we could get more people to step up to use moral courage more often - we would see better results.
—Jerry Boykin
After having the pleasure of recording an On Demand Seminar with Dr. Cathy Greenberg, I was astonished by her ground-breaking perspective on leadership, and the role she takes herself as an inspirational leader. Not only did I learn to sharpen my focus, she also showed me how to achieve greater confidence and courage to become an inspirational leader myself. She was truly a pleasure to work with, and I am thrilled that she accepted to be a faculty at the Gazelles Growth Institute.
