-
Potential Report describes strengths and development needs as a manage and executive. It is based on the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) and is organized into seven dimensions, each addressing a different component of performance. Answers the question: Can someone do the job with the characteristics needed to perform the job?
-
Challenge Report is designed to help develop a leader by providing insight into behaviors that could potentially undermine or inhibit performance during stress, boredom, complacency or lack of engagement. The results are based on the Hogan Development Survey (HDS) and offers suggestions for leading more effectively. Answers the question: What will get in someone's way in getting results? ​​
​
-
Values Report describes core values, motivations and goals that affect careers. The items measured are an essential part of someone's identity and shape the choices that are made about work, play, and relationships. The assessment uncovers drives, fit, style/culture and unconscious biases through the Motivations, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI). Answers the questions: Will someone enjoy their work environment? What type of work environment will they want to create?
Talent Authority synthesizes findings across all three reports into a concise, one-page behavioral narrative that highlights the most important themes, patterns, and leadership implications. The summary also identifies three highly individualized development opportunities based on the participant’s unique combination of results.
​
​Additional assessments can be added on that measure (1) the ability to solve problems and make business decisions along with (2) the ability to learn, decide and adapt. Incorporating these provides a well-rounded objective view of the leader. We incorporate the Insight Assessment results into into our mid-level leader development solutions (learn more), 360 Feedback and Higher-Level Development options for mid and senior-level leaders.
Where Assessment Insights Can Lead
​​
Assessment results are most valuable when they are translated into action. Talent Authority uses behavioral insights as a foundation for a range of talent and leadership solutions based on the needs of the individual, team, or organization.
​
-
Develop Leaders. Translate assessment findings into focused development priorities that strengthen self-awareness, leadership behavior, relationships, and overall effectiveness. Insights can support a one-time debrief or become part of a broader development experience such as Leadership Insight to Impact.
-
Increase Leader Effectiveness Through Coaching. Use assessment findings to identify the behaviors most likely to improve leadership impact. Talent Authority incorporates these insights into individualized coaching and programs such as LEAP – Leader Effectiveness Acceleration Program.
-
Identify and Develop High-Potential and Succession Talent. Combine behavioral insights with role requirements, performance, experience, and organizational needs to better understand readiness, development gaps, potential risks, and preparation for future roles.
-
Strengthen Team Effectiveness. Analyze individual and collective results to understand how team members’ personalities, motivations, strengths, and potential derailers interact. Talent Authority facilitates team development sessions -- using collective Hogan results -- that help leaders better understand one another, reduce friction, and leverage complementary strengths.

Make Better Talent Decisions. Apply behavioral insights to hiring and selection through Position Insights, where Talent Authority defines the behavioral requirements of a role, evaluates candidate alignment, identifies potential strengths and risks, and develops targeted behavioral interview questions.

Build Broader Leadership Development. Assessment findings can also inform customized leadership training, mentoring, team development, 360 feedback, succession planning, and other Talent Authority solutions so development is targeted to actual behavioral needs rather than delivered as a generic program.

Leadership Insight Series
​
The Hogan Leadership Insights Series measures 28 dimensions of personality that provide a comprehensive view of how an individual is likely to lead, perform, interact with others, respond under pressure, and experience the workplace.
​
Together, the assessments:
-
Describe everyday leadership style and behavior, including how the individual is likely to communicate, build relationships, make decisions, and approach work.
​​
-
Identify personality characteristics that influence performance, including the tendencies that may support—or occasionally limit—the achievement of goals and results.
​
-
Highlight behaviors that may emerge under stress, pressure, fatigue, or complacency and potentially interfere with leadership effectiveness.
​
-
Identify potential derailers that can affect judgment, relationships, trust, and the ability to build and lead cohesive teams.
-
Reveal values and cultural preferences that influence organizational fit, decision-making, and leadership priorities.
-
Uncover workplace motivators that help explain what engages the leader and the type of environment they are likely to create for others.​​​​​

​​
The value of the Leadership Insights Series extends well beyond reviewing 28 individual scores. Many of the dimensions interact with, reinforce, or counterbalance one another, making expert interpretation critical to understanding the complete leadership picture.
Talent Authority reviews and synthesizes the findings across all three Hogan assessments and provides a concise, easy-to-understand one-page behavioral narrative describing the most important leadership implications. We also identify three development opportunities for the leader to consider based on the overall pattern of results.
​
The participant then receives a 90-minute one-on-one debrief with a Talent Authority expert to interpret the findings, explore potential strengths and risks, and translate the assessment into practical development priorities.
If desired, the assessment can serve as the foundation for additional leadership coaching, training, mentoring, or other development support.
The debrief provides an excellent first development step for any leader by turning assessment insight into greater self-awareness and practical action.
