Personality in the Workplace

Role of Personality in Leadership Success and Failure

Written by Robert Hogan, Ph.D., author of the Hogan Personality Inventory

Writes Gordon Curphy, President, C3, and Co-author of "Leadership: Enhancing the Lessons of Experience":

"Bob Hogan has taught me more about leadership and personality --both intellectually and experientially -- than any person I know ... this book should be mandatory reading for anyone in a position of authority. Leadership is the number one issue of the day, and we have tolerated weak and mediocre performance from our leaders for far too long."
