Values Report Launch
Values – the core motives, interests, and beliefs that determine what we desire and strive to attain – have tremendous consequence in terms of what type of work we find fulfilling, how we operate within a team, and how we fit into an organization.
As the international authority in personality assessment and consulting, Hogan has more than 30 years of experience identifying and developing successful leaders. We are excited to launch the revised Leadership Forecast Series Values Report.
We will activate the new report in HALO on January 17, at which time it will replace the old report in the system.
For more information regarding the new Leadership Forecast Series Values report, its activation in the HALO system, or how it will affect you, please visit the Values Report launch site.
VALUES REPORT LAUNCH
The Power of Unconscious Biases
When Jeffrey Skilling took control of Enron, he had a reputation as a smart, extremely competitive business man with a penchant for risk taking – qualities that led to early success and facilitated his rise to the executive suite.
These values became counterproductive, however, when Skilling’s unconscious biases began to shape Enron’s culture. Lauding of creative risk-taking and fierce internal competition coupled with huge incentives led to not only stretching, but circumventing and breaking legal and ethical boundaries to bolster short-term performance.
Obviously, Skilling’s was an extreme case, but although unconscious biases – the unconscious projection of our values onto others – aren’t always counterproductive, they are always impactful.
“The Power of Unconscious Biases” explores leaders’ values and unconscious biases, and their potentially devastating consequences.

A Victor in the Science Wars
In science, wars are fought over disputed intellectual territories. According to “A Victor in the Science Wars,” a recent article on Forbes.com, one such battle, which has been waged for the past 50 years, is over what constitutes one’s personality.
The ancient warrior faction argues that personality is your internal identity. You think about who you are, and how you’ll act, and your self-perceptions and this is your personality. The neophyte faction, led by Robert Hogan, argues that in the workplace it’s not who you think you are, but what everyone else thinks about you that matters. The practical question is: which tribe wins the contest?

Strength in Science
In the fast-moving business world, getting the right person in the right position is critical. Although, personality assessment can be a powerful talent management tool, with thousands of assessment providers in the U.S. alone, finding one that meets your company’s needs can be a challenge.
Hogan’s foundation in science and dedication to research distinguishes it from the competition. “Strength in Science” is a one-page overview of the Hogan Research Division (HRD), an industry-leading group of doctorate- and masters-level Industrial-Organizational Psychology professionals. Grounded in more than 30 years of research and scientific prediction, HRD plays a central role in developing and applying the Hogan assessments to employee selection and development.
