EBW - Emotions and Behaviours at Work
The EBW model of Emotional Intelligence is about how people manage the key behaviours/emotions that determine success in different situations – it is about understanding the interactions between these key behaviours/emotions and the impact they have on others and their work. The EBW model is a practical work based model designed to help individuals and teams understand why people behave the way they do and how to maximise their performance at work.
Zest Learning can provide psychometric testing based on the EBW model, and can thus help your organisation become more efficient.
Emotional Intelligence & the EBW Model
The growth in the area of research into Emotional Intelligence has meant there are a wide variety of definitions for EI and one finds that each research provides their own unique emphasis.
The common themes that run through EI research are the importance of understanding and regulating emotions, developing self-awareness and broadly, like ability “the higher a person scores on an EI test the more effective they will be”. Whereas the EBW model recognises the importance of self-awareness but emphasises there are strengths and weaknesses associated with every score you can obtain on the different behavioural and emotional clusters (scales) that form the EBW model.
