When good leadership is in place, organizations and people prosper. When bad leadership is in place, organizations and people suffer. We could cite stats about leadership effectiveness, employee retention and engagement, and stress. After all, the saying that people leave managers, not jobs, contains a lot of truth . . . but this question lies at the heart of it all: How can organizations ensure a leader will be effective?
Ryne Sherman, PhD, chief science officer at Hogan Assessments, addressed this question at a recent virtual event hosted by the Association for Talent Development (ATD). A recording of his talk, “The Transformative Power of Personality and Leadership Effectiveness,” is now available on demand.
Dr. Sherman discussed who ascends to leadership positions versus who is successful at building and maintaining high-performing teams—and how personality data can predict the difference. “Leadership is critical for organizational success,” he said. “Unfortunately, most research on leadership fails to make the critical distinction between leadership emergence and leadership effectiveness.” Hogan research suggests that the rate of managerial ineffectiveness is as high as 75 percent.
You can still hear Dr. Sherman explain how to develop leaders who achieve organizational success and prosperity. You’ll learn (1) the difference between leadership emergence and leadership effectiveness, (2) what effective leadership looks like, and (3) practical recommendations for selecting and developing leaders. Don’t wait any longer to discover how data-driven personality insights will improve your leadership development and drive business outcomes.
