Noble Story Group grows adaptive leadership competencies by applying our Emotional Intelligence 5-Square methodology in job-imbedded coaching and training tailored to the academy context. Faculty and administrative leaders shift deep mindsets and habits and learn to create conditions for thriving while leading others with connection, care and challenge. Our 5-Square EI framework is a practical, intuitive approach to building adaptive leadership competencies that has proven to be effective across academic and administrative contexts and levels of the leadership pipeline. When applied in community, the 5-Square becomes a living, every-day common language of leadership. Our approach is anchored in values—why we care and what drives us—because we believe that values are the source of our power as leaders and humans. It focuses on self-awareness—what we need to know about how we show up before we ever engage with others. We explore internal, hidden obstacles to development that are connected to self-limiting mindsets and behaviors, then support leaders with self-management. Then we shift to social awareness: what we need to know about others before we take action. Finally, we move to relationship management to engage others to reach our goals.
