The Hogan Leadership Forecast Series (HLFS) is a comprehensive suite of leadership assessments designed to predict how people lead, how they derail under pressure, and what motivates their decisions and behavior. Grounded in decades of research and used globally by organizations of all sizes, the HLFS provides a practical, science‑based view of leadership performance and potential.
As a Certified Hogan Practitioner, I am trained to ethically administer, interpret, and translate these data into clear, actionable insights that support real-world leadership development, selection, and succession decisions.
What the Leadership Forecast Series Includes
The HLFS consists of three complementary reports:
- Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) – Day‑to‑day leadership style and strengths
- Hogan Development Survey (HDS) – Leadership risks and derailers under stress
- Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI) – Core drivers, values, and culture fit
Together, these assessments provide a 360° view of how leaders are likely to show up over time.
Key Benefits of the Hogan Leadership Forecast Series
- Predicts leadership effectiveness and long-term performance
- Identifies hidden risks that can undermine success under pressure
- Supports targeted development based on real behavioral data
- Improves selection and promotion decisions
- Aligns leaders with roles, teams, and organizational culture
Hogan assessments don’t label people—they reveal patterns. The real value comes from expert interpretation and application, which is where my work as a certified practitioner comes in.
Potential Report (HPI)
The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) describes how individuals typically behave at work when they are operating at their best. It focuses on visible strengths, leadership style, and interpersonal effectiveness, providing insight into how others are likely to experience a leader on a day‑to‑day basis. The HPI helps predict job performance, leadership potential, and how reliably someone will approach work, relationships, and challenges. See a sample report here.
Challenge Report (HDS)
The Hogan Development Survey (HDS) identifies leadership behaviors that can emerge under stress, pressure, or fatigue and that may undermine effectiveness if left unmanaged. These “derailers” are often overused strengths that, in the wrong context, can damage relationships, decision‑making, and team performance. The HDS helps leaders recognize risk patterns early and develop strategies to stay effective when the stakes are highest.. See a sample report here.
Values Report (MVPI)
The Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI) explores what drives and motivates a leader, revealing the values and goals that shape their decisions, priorities, and leadership culture. It provides insight into what energizes individuals, the types of environments where they are most engaged, and how well they align with organizational values. The MVPI is especially useful for understanding culture fit, engagement, and long‑term leadership satisfaction. See a sample report here.
- Drivers: Your values are your key drivers—the things in life that motivate you. Values determine your aspirations and symbolize what you strive for and hope to attain. Your values define what you desire in your work and life.
- Fit.: Your values determine how well you will fit with any organizational culture. Organizational cultures typically reflect the values of senior management. People are happy and productive in cultures that are consistent with their values, and they are distressed and unhappy working in cultures defined by values that differ from their own.
- Leadership Style and Culture: Your values reflect what you find rewarding and pay attention to or what you dislike and avoid. Thus, your values define the behavior that you like and reward and the behavior that you ignore or dislike. Consequently, your values shape the kind of culture that you, as a leader, will create for your staff and subordinates.
- Unconscious Biases: Values influence the decisions you make—about people, projects, plans, and strategy. Values filter perceptions of experience, especially about what is desirable or undesirable, good or bad. Values typically operate outside conscious awareness and bias both thought and action.
