This book is written for anyone with an interest in the interaction between personality and organizational life. Author Robert Hogan, Ph.D., is president of Hogan Assessment Systems and one of the most widely respected psychometricians writing today. His well-researched views are often controversial, which makes this a lively read for HR and assessment professionals. Hogan is the author of the Hogan Personality Inventory, one of the few personality tests written and validated for the workplace. He comes down firmly on the side of personality as a key factor in the outcome of an individual's leadership.
