Ignite emotional intelligence, leadership, well-being and relationships

About the program

Combining learning methodologies with a learning-journey structure, participants experience enduring improvements in their emotional intelligence. There are six core modules of the program. Each session, delivered in a two-hour professionally facilitated format, includes relevant pre-work, cutting-edge research, experiential scenarios and on-the-job applications.

The program contains a Time 1 and a Time 2 Genos EI Leadership Feedback Report. The assessment at the beginning helps personalise the program and allows participants to receive results and feedback on their current EI Leadership Behaviour. In knowing they will receive a second assessment, this helps participants to have a growth mindset and to understand the importance of ongoing development.

Who will benefit from this?

Ignite is an emotional intelligence enhancement program designed for leaders and individual contributors at all levels who wish to:

• Facilitate difficult conversations with confidence,
• Feel less stressed and better equipped to manage high work demands,

Using the Ignite program to enhance emotional intelligence, well-being and relationships

This guide is for customers who are self-managing and provides an explanation of each step involved in the administration of the Genos Ignite Program. For facilitators, information about preparation and supporting resources are provided at the beginning of each facilitator guide booklet.

Initial program preparation:

• Complete the Genos checklist for a successful assessment project
• Create a new ‘group’ in Genos surveys and select the Ignite program
• Select the applicable client if you are running the program within a client organisation. This will allow for dual-branding on your program booklets.
• Refer to the Administrator Video Tutorials for more detailed instructions on setting up the Time 1 assessment and adding program participants.
• Once participants are added to the survey, Folder Covers, Module 1, Module 2, Module 6 and the Development Tips workbooks can be downloaded for each participant at any point in time.
• Before the Time 1 Ignite survey commences, Module 1 will need to be facilitated with the participants.

Finalising the Time 1 Assessment:

• Now that Module 1 has been completed, participants are expecting to receive their survey invitations, so check these have been sent out successfully.
• Once the survey has closed and all reports are finalised (and no more survey extensions are needed), you can now download the Reports, Module 3, Module 4 and Module 5 workbooks.
• Caution: Once the report or any workbook containing results has been shown to the participants, the survey cannot be reopened for further feedback to be added. This will create a comparison of two sets of results shown to the participant, and hence, violating the privacy of the raters. This is why it is important to ensure you are 100% happy with the progress before the T1 survey is finalised and booklets are printed.
• Note: Debriefs will need to be completed one-on-one with participants if the Leadership 360 Report is used, prior to the Module 2 session where participants can share their insights as a group.

Setting up the Time 2 Assessment:

• Now that Module 5 has been completed, participants are ready to complete their Time 2 assessment tasks.
• Go back to Genos Surveys and click ‘New Group’. Now that the selected Client has completed an Ignite T1 Program in Genos Surveys, the option to create an Ignite T2 Program will now be available during the group creation process.
• During this creation process, you will need to select the applicable Time 1 Ignite Program. You will also be given the option to clone the participants (and raters) from the T1 survey.

• Now that you have created the Time 2 Ignite survey, you should again adjust the settings for the survey like you would do for any survey group. These include the start and end dates, email content and task settings.
• For the purpose of measuring participants’ emotional intelligence behaviours for the second time, there is no restriction or requirement around which raters are selected. Rather, the same approach should be adopted as per any Genos EI survey – that is, participants should select people who are:
  • familiar with their leadership behaviour in recent months,
  • prepared to provide them with objective feedback, and
  • asked to participate prior to receiving the system-generated email from Genos.
• If you would like to give participants the opportunity to re-do the nominations task, choose the ‘Include Participants’ option. Alternatively, if you choose the ‘Include Participants & Raters’ option, you could mention in the survey email to participants that their raters have been imported from their T1 report, but if needed they are able to edit their nominations task if they need to make any updates to the rater list.
• Reminder: Debriefs will need to be completed one-on-one with participants if the Leadership 360 Report is used, prior to Module 6.
