Hogan Leadership Assessments for Executives

Surface the core drivers and strengths that power your leaders under normal conditions - and the pressure-point derailers that emerge when stakes rise - so development targets what actually breaks under load.

Hogan is the gold standard for leadership assessment. Unlike tools that measure how you see yourself, Hogan measures how others see you - the reputation you have built through your behavior, especially under pressure. That makes it uniquely valuable for identifying the derailers that do not show up in an interview or a performance review but will show up when the stakes are highest.

Brian deploys Hogan across the RPM Framework: Relationships (how your leadership style affects trust and team dynamics), Process (how your behavioral patterns shape execution and accountability), and Maturation (the derailers that limit your ceiling and the development path past them).

Identify Leadership Derailers

Surface the behavioral patterns that emerge under stress - the ones that derail careers and teams - before they cost you.

Map Core Drivers & Strengths

Understand the values and motivations that power your best leadership moments, then build on them deliberately.

Target Development

Stop guessing at development plans. Hogan data tells you exactly which behaviors to build and which to manage.

Succession Readiness

Use Hogan to assess bench strength and identify which emerging leaders are ready for the next role - and which need development first.

How Hogan Works

The Hogan Leadership Forecast Series includes three assessments: the Bright Side (your everyday leadership style), the Dark Side (the derailers that emerge under stress), and the Inside (your core values and drivers). Together, they give a complete picture of how a leader shows up across the full range of conditions they will face.

Brian debriefs the results in a confidential one-on-one session, translating the data into a concrete development plan. For succession planning, we can run Hogan across a leadership cohort to map bench strength and identify development priorities.

Who Should Use Hogan

Senior leaders being considered for larger roles, high-potential managers being groomed for promotion, and leadership teams undergoing succession planning. If you are making a bet on someone's readiness for more responsibility, Hogan gives you the data to make that bet with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions We Hear Most

What is the Hogan assessment?

Hogan is a leadership assessment that measures how others see you - your reputation - across three dimensions: your everyday leadership style, the derailers that emerge under stress, and your core values and drivers. It is the gold standard for identifying the behavioral patterns that make or break leaders under pressure.

How is Hogan different from DISC?

DISC measures behavioral style - how you communicate and collaborate. Hogan measures reputation - how others experience your leadership, especially under pressure. DISC is great for team communication. Hogan is the tool for leadership development, promotion decisions, and succession planning.

How long does a Hogan assessment take?

The assessments take about 30 to 45 minutes total. The debrief session runs 60 to 90 minutes. For a full development plan, plan on a follow-up coaching engagement to work through the derailers and build the new habits the data surfaces.
