Consulting
Leadership
Challenge: A consulting company specializing in talent management solutions developed a
competency model to identify critical attributes for leaders. Based on years of
experience working closely with senior-level leaders, a group of experts identified six
competencies critical for leadership success. Particularly, competent leaders need to
be able to break down complexity, run the business like an owner and partner, drive
operational and financial excellence, take charge, release power, and develop people
and teams. The consulting company collaborated with Hogan to identify personality
characteristics most predictive of these competencies.
Solution: Hogan mapped the company’s competency model to the Hogan competency model.
This alignment allowed us to examine the relationships between the client’s
competencies and the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) and Hogan Development
Survey (HDS) use existing archival data. The HPI is a measure of everyday, normal
personality tendencies and the HDS measures characteristics that can derail or
inhibit performance. Also, we used expert judgment to align the Motives, Values,
Preferences Inventory (MVPI) scales with the company’s competencies. The MVPI
assesses an individual’s core drivers and values.
Result: Combining empirical evidence and expert judgment, Hogan identified scales most
predictive of each leadership competency. For example, the HPI Adjustment, HPI
Prudence, HDS Mischievous, HDS Imaginative, and MVPI Commerce scales predicted
the “Discipline” competency. Specifically, leaders who remain resilient under stress
and pressure (higher Adjustment), are rule-abiding and dependable (higher
Prudence), avoid taking unnecessary risks (lower Mischievous), make practical
decisions (lower Imaginative), and value financial performance (higher Commerce)
are able to operate with high efficiency and maximize revenue growth.
Overall, using Hogan assessments within a custom competency report to select and
develop leaders, should result in more effective leader performance, a decrease in
eventual career derailment, and better cultural fit.
