Leadership plays a pivotal role in shaping the destiny of organisations, serving as the guiding force that sets the course for long-term success and adaptability in a complex and changing world.
Therefore, organisations seek core qualities in their leaders that will empower them to inspire and guide others, make strategic choices and achieve positive outcomes for their enterprise.
An effective way to discover how individuals will perform in leadership roles is through a comprehensive personality assessment that offers clear insight into an individual’s performance capabilities, potential challenges and primary motivators.
This assessment helps people understand which aspects of leadership capability will come naturally to them and which may require more effort, giving them the advantage of strategic self-awareness.
The result leads to greater confidence in their strengths and insight into potential challenges that may hinder success and how they can build a cohesive team.
Although no personality traits are universally better than others, there is evidence that certain traits forecast leadership success in specific jobs and business contexts.
Identifying these traits in a given work scenario assists individuals in understanding where and how they need to evolve and adapt to the challenges they face and the people with whom they collaborate and engage.
Leadership Forecast Series
For a fully comprehensive assessment of leadership capability, we recommend Hogan Assessments Systems, the industry leader in personality assessment, having clearly demonstrated personality’s impact on organisational success.
We use the Hogan Leadership Forecast Series assessment. This assessment address the different components of leadership performance that influence the ability to build and maintain a high-performing team and create a positive corporate culture.
Conducted as an online self-assessment, the Hogan Leadership Forecast Series consists of three inventories:
- The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) – describes day-to-day leadership behaviour and contains detailed development recommendations
- The Hogan Development Survey (HDS) – predicts career derailing behaviours that interfere with the ability to build a cohesive team.
- The Motives, Values and Preferences Inventory (MVPI) – descries the core values and goals that drive a leader’s behaviour, aspirations and expectations.
The reports from these assessments are very comprehensive. They provide detailed information on strengths, weaknesses, values and practical developmental recommendations. These insights are used for selection, development, succession and career planning decisions.
