EI Leadership Institute

The EI Leadership Institute, formerly known as the Liautaud Institute,[1] is a positive change leadership institute cofounded by investor and business theorist James P. Liautaud. [2][3] The Institute develops training processes to improve group performance and cohesion.[4]

The Institute was listed as one of the leading executive education programs by Chief Executive Magazine in 2013.[5] It was also ranked as one of the top five programs for Organizational Development by HR.com's Leadership Excellence And Development (LEAD) in 2016.[6]

History

edit

Jim Liautaud co-founded the Institute in 2006.[2] Working with neuroscientists, psychologists, CEOs and researchers, Liautaud and his colleagues created a training program to quickly build successful intra-company teams.[7] In 2006, the Institute started to catalog the best social habits from high-performing managers. They broke down each practice into a sequence of steps and standardized them so that they could be certified, similar to the way the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certifies the quality of goods and services.[2]

Approach

edit

The EI Leadership Institute uses an approach called PDT (process-designed teams), applying the principles of Nobel Prize-winning economist Dr. Elinor Ostrom.[8] Their leadership forum program has shown a 23% increase in Emotional intelligence for participating executives over a two-year period.[9][10]
