This can help establish the need for targeted development programs and measures, and can lead to dramatic increases in the persons performance, interaction with others, and leadership potential. The EQ 360 assess­ment provides a more in-depth analysis by having those who work with the client pro­vide information as well. When observer rat­ings are compared with the results of an EQ-i 2.0 self-report, a more complete 360 degree profile emerges.
