Business writers largely agree that, after 75 years of research, psychologists have reached no consensus on the defining characteristics of effective leadership. However, when asked about the defining characteristics of incompetent leadership, consensus quickly emerges on several important issues. As studies show the rate of incompetent management to be at about 55 percent, five or six out of every ten managers are incompetent and causing unnecessary stress for their staff.
During "The Modern Manager: Money Maker or Mental Health Menace," Robert Hogan, president of Hogan Assessment Systems, will discuss the reasons that so many managers fail, such as dysfunctional interpersonal tendencies that co-exist with their excellent social skills and appear when dealing with subordinates. He will also explain how bad managers can affect their staff's mental health by causing stress which then turns into illness. Attendees will also learn how assessment-based solutions can be used to hire and promote better managers and help existing managers to improve their performance.
The annual convention of the American Psychological Association is the largest gathering of psychologists and psychology students in the world. Conference attendees who wish to learn more about the psychology behind effective leadership are encouraged to attend this session that will teach them how psychological assessments can be used to improve managerial performance.
With more than 30 years of experience, Hogan is the global leader in providing comprehensive, research-based personality assessment and consulting. Grounded in decades of science, Hogan helps businesses dramatically reduce turnover and increase productivity by hiring the right people, developing key talent, and evaluating leadership potential.
