Personality in the Workplace


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


Personality and the Fate of Organizations by Robert Hogan, Ph.

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."
