How Hogan Helps Organizations Build Leaders Who Actually Lead

Every organization says it wants great leaders ... but not every organization knows how to develop them.

The truth is, leadership isn’t just about skill. It’s about self-awareness, values alignment, and understanding how people show up when things are easy and when they’re hard.

That’s where the Hogan Assessments come in.

Why Self-Awareness Is a Business Strategy

When leaders know themselves, they make better decisions, build stronger teams, and create cultures people actually want to be part of.

But when self-awareness is missing, it shows up in subtle ways: high turnover, misalignment between words and actions, unclear communication, burnout, and stalled growth.

Hogan brings clarity to all of that. It’s not a personality quiz or leadership fad. It’s a data-backed framework that helps organizations identify, develop, and retain the kind of leaders who can truly move the needle.

What Makes Hogan Different

Hogan has been the global standard in workplace personality assessment for over 40 years, trusted by more than 1,500 companies in over 50 countries.

Unlike other assessments, Hogan was built for business, grounded in validated research and designed to predict job performance and leadership potential.

Each assessment looks at a different side of the story:

• HPI (Hogan Personality Inventory): How someone typically behaves at work. These are their natural strengths and tendencies.

• HDS (Hogan Development Survey): How they might derail under stress, pressure, or change.

• MVPI (Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory): What drives them and how their values fit (or clash) with your organization’s culture.

Together, these insights go beyond “who fits”, they show why they fit, how they lead, and where to develop next.

How Organizations Use Hogan

Hogan gives companies data that helps make better people decisions across every stage of the employee journey.

1. Talent Selection & Hiring

Identify the candidates who will perform, not just interview well. Hogan data reveals who’s likely to thrive, who might struggle, and where they’ll fit best within your culture.

2. Leadership Development

Help your current and emerging leaders see themselves clearly so they can grow strategically, not reactively. With Hogan, we can pinpoint derailers early and build individualized development plans that actually stick.

3. Succession Planning

Hogan gives you a measurable way to assess leadership readiness and build a sustainable pipeline of future leaders. No more guessing who’s “next.”

4. Team & Culture Alignment

Every team has its own dynamic. Hogan identifies shared strengths, potential friction points, and value misalignments. This is the stuff that shapes culture behind the scenes.

Why It Works

Hogan’s data doesn’t just describe people; it predicts performance.

When combined, the HPI + HDS + MVPI predict job performance at .54 validity, compared to .18 for structured interviews — a massive advantage when you’re investing in people.

That level of accuracy means your hiring, development, and succession decisions are based on something more powerful than instinct, they’re based on science.
