Hogan Assessments: Clarity for Intentional Leadership

Understand how others see you — and why it matters for your leadership.

The Hogan Assessments are a suite of science-based, workplace personality tools designed to predict and enhance performance across levels and environments. Trusted by more than half of the Fortune 500, Hogan has a proven track record in helping organizations choose, develop, and guide leaders with insight and integrity  .

Hogan Assessments provide leaders with a powerful lens into how their personality, values, and behaviors impact their effectiveness at work. Unlike many tools that focus only on self-perception, Hogan focuses on reputation: how others experience you.

In organizations, reputation often carries more weight than identity. It’s not just how you see yourself, but how others perceive your reliability, communication, and leadership style that shapes your opportunities and impact. That’s why Hogan is such a valuable tool — it translates reputation into insights you can act on with intention.

How You Can Work With Hogan

The Hogan Assessments can be booked as a stand-alone package — including the assessments, a detailed debrief, and a follow-up session to check how the insights are landing.

Or, they can be fully integrated into a coaching program, where I combine Hogan with the Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) and values work for a deeper, more holistic perspective.

Why Hogan?

  • Industrial validity: Hogan’s tools uniquely measure the “bright” traits (everyday strengths), “dark” derailers (stress-driven behaviors), and core values and motivations (why we do what we do) – offering exceptionally predictive insight into workplace performance  .

  • Wide adoption: Hogan is available in 40+ languages across over 50 countries and helps both individuals and organizations thrive — not just “fit in”  .

What Hogan Tools Reveal

Hogan uses three scientifically validated assessments to give leaders a holistic view of their leadership:

  • HPI (Hogan Personality Inventory) – Captures how leaders show up in everyday situations, focusing on their strengths and typical behaviors  .

  • HDS (Hogan Development Survey) – Highlights hidden derailers that may surface under stress or pressure  .

  • MVPI (Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory) – What drives and motivates you, and the type of culture where you’ll thrive.

      .

Together, these tools provide a clear picture of:

  • How you’re likely to be seen by others

  • Where hidden risks or blind spots may hold you back

  • What energizes you and how to align it with your work and team

 

Why It Matters for Leaders

Leadership success isn’t just about skills or expertise. It’s about reputation: how consistently others can trust you, follow you, and be influenced by you.

By uncovering how you’re seen at your best, what may trip you up under pressure, and what truly drives you, Hogan helps you:

  • Build stronger relationships and influence across stakeholders

  • Anticipate risks before they impact your reputation

  • Create intentional strategies for leading authentically and effectively

 

Working with Hogan

You can work with Hogan in two ways:

1. As a stand-alone package – including the assessments, a detailed debrief, and a follow-up session to check how the insights are landing.

2. As part of a coaching program – integrated with the Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) and values work, for a deeper perspective on how your mindset, energy, and core drivers shape your leadership identity.

Either way, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.
