The Hogan® Development Survey (HDS)
The HDS provides insight regarding eleven “derailment” tendencies that, when incited by stress, pressure, or boredom, are capable of impeding work relationships, adversely impacting leadership style, hindering productivity, and limiting overall career potential and effectiveness. From a broad selection standpoint, the HDS is often a component of validated processes used to screen candidates into leadership and/or sensitive, individual contributor positions. From a development standpoint, the HDS is uniquely capable of helping individuals proactively identify “dark side” tendencies (often over-used strengths) capable of negatively impacting their performance — insight that can be used as a basis for goal setting and seeking accountability.
