Executive IntelligenceTM, or ExI, is a critical factor in executive performance—and yet it is overlooked by current assessment practices. Through his work with some of the most effective executives in the world, Justin Menkes, co-founder of Executive Intelligence Group, sought to understand the qualities of star performers. He found that success could be attributed to intelligence but not to, for example, the academic IQ required for admission into top universities. Instead, Menkes identified patterns of "intelligent executive behavior." He distilled this behavioral pattern of success and, over three years, designed an assessment methodology to measure it. This is the Executive Intelligence Evaluation.
Companies that include the assessment of Executive Intelligence when evaluating managers and leaders, not only double the accuracy of their assessment, but also gain a profound understanding of the underlying drivers on an individual's performance. This deep understanding guides our clients' decisions about the deployment and development of individuals.
