Episode 16: Dr. Robert Hogan, Founder of Hogan Assessments

In this episode, Tony speaks with Dr. Robert Hogan, the founder of Hogan Assessments, the leading professional assessment tool in the world. Dr. Hogan, Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, Past Professor of Psychology at Johns Hopkins University, Past Psychology Department Chair at the University of Tulsa, and author of several books, shares his wisdom on why companies struggle to make leadership hires.  Suppose we know the top 3 traits that predict great leaders. Why do companies continue to be so poor at hiring them? It is not whether the hiring leader thinks the candidate has the desired traits that matters, it's based on the outcomes and facts of their personal and professional lives. Adding the right psychological testing to the process helps leaders understand the innate personality tendencies, flagging the key areas for questioning to determine if needed behavioral disciplines are entrenched.
