HOGAN ASSESSMENT REVIEW

Teams are often made up of highly talented executives who make strong individual contributions to their division. However, being a group of high performing individuals is not as effective as being a team. Being a real team is difficult because of the needs and drivers of the individuals within the team. Team dynamics do not usually get discussed but impact on how decisions are made, how people communicate, how aligned team members are and ultimately performance. We will bring these matters into sharp focus, empowering everyone to identify the actions they need to take to perform to their optimum capability.

Motives, Values & Preferences Inventory

What gets you out of bed in the morning

A shared value or ‘Anchor’ forms when half of the team score either below 35% or above 65% on MVPI scale. The stronger the cluster of scores, the stronger the value. Anchors tell you about the culture that team are likely to create as well as how things get done. They tell us about the sort of behaviour that gets subtly reinforced or discouraged. Founders and CEO will have a multiplier effect on the values.

Hogan Personality Inventory

At your Best

Your HPI is your normal personality, or what people see when you are at your best. It determines your leadership and judgement style, your interpersonal approach and your intrapersonal demeanour– all when you are in a culture that fulfils your values. If the majority of the team members (half of the team or more) share the same characteristic then it is possible to predict how the team will approach collective challenges and opportunities and what the external perception of them may be.

Psychological Roles

At your Best

An individual’s personality predicts how they will approach work and interact with team members.

Whilst individuals are selected for their functional expertise, they bring much more than that to their roles. Their personality shapes the more subtle contributions they make and the psychological roles they play on the team.

Hogan has developed five psychological team roles that people gravitate towards based on their personality and values. The role or roles an individual plays depends on a number of scales in the HPI.

SUMMARY

Hogan Development Survey

At your Worst

The HDS identifies the characteristics which can derail individual performance. It provides insight regarding how you might respond when not actively and intentionally managing your public image, when excited, stressed, over-burdened, under pressure, or bored. Ironically these are often strengths, until they are over-played. If a majority of team members (half of the team or more) show the same derailer, a specific problematic individual behaviour may become a shared team derailer. These can interfere with a team’s ability to build relationships and maintain a cohesive direction towards a goal. These behaviours can become ‘normal’ and are therefore tolerated which increases the risk of poor engagement and performance.
