Hogan Assessment InsightsBuilding Strategic Self Awareness HPI HDS MVPI

• Underlies our behavior, actions, reactions, and interactions with others

• Helps predict how we manage change, conflict, & execute business strategies – perform on the job

• Influences our effectiveness in building and maintaining relationships--- interpersonal effectiveness

WHY IS PERSONALITY IMPORTANT

• Stable over time

• No such thing as an “ideal” personality profile or “good” or “bad” scores

• There are strengths and opportunities associated with scores in each part of the scale ranges we’ll discuss

• The descriptions indicate probabilities – not certainties

• Diverse styles are important!

• The goal is self-awareness…not personality change

A FEW CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT PERSONALITY

THE VALUE OF SELF -AWARENESS

“I am able to control only that of which I am aware. That of which I am unaware controls me.”

John Whitmore

from Coaching for Performance

SELF-AWARENESS & REFLECTION IS KEY

• seek feedback in multiple forms

• accept feedback

• are more successful than those who don’t

• act on the feedback

• miss feedback messages (blind spots)

• ignore feedback they do receive (denial)

• are slow to change over time (obsolete)

• top-out or derail (fail)

Leaders who know themselves . . .

Leaders who lack self-awareness . . .
