Pre-Course Requirements

  • Three personality scales (The Hogan Scales) are completed on-line. Approximately 90 minutes is required, either as a block or in 30 minute segments. Prior to debriefing, individuals are provided with their confidential reports to read and prepare for the debrief session. Allow 30 to 60 minutes.

Overview

This offering is for executives and leaders. Personality plays a central role in determining successful performance - understanding personality and values leads to more successful performance and helps lead from strengths and minimise risks. Self-knowledge leads to development planning, with focus areas for enhancing leadership. The program combines the Hogan Scales, the industry bench mark personality profile, with a one-on-one session to understand the results, analyse impact on others, identify focus areas for change or enhancement and plan actions. Optional additional sessions are available (and encouraged) for coaching on implementation, action and review.

Course content

The Hogan Personality Inventory reveals what individuals typically exhibit in their daily working life (“the bright side” of performance). The Development Survey measures career-derailing tendencies (“the dark side”), behaviours that impede performance and limit potential. The Motives scale reveals one’s core values (“the inside”), to understand best organisational fit. The model can also be used to identify team members’ drives and needs. These results are the basis for the coaching session(s) to plan and implement actions to improve and enhance leadership.

Course outcomes

By the end of this course attendees should be able to:

  • identify characteristics that facilitate or inhibit their leadership
  • identify potential career risks, derailing tendencies
  • relate personal values to the work environments in which they are most likely to succeed

  • manage or lead their teams in a way that leverages their strengths and positives, and mitigates risks of negative impact.
