Robert Hogan Bücher

Personality and performance are intricately linked, and personality has proven to have a direct influence on an individual's leadership ability and style, team performance, and overall organizational effectiveness. In Personality and the Fate of Organizations, author Robert Hogan offers a systematic account of the nature of personality, showing how to use personality to understand organizations and to understand, evaluate, select, deselect, and train people. This book brings insights from a leading industrial organizational psychologist who asserts that personality is real, and that it determines the careers of individuals and the fate of organizations. The author’s goal is to increase the reader’s ability to understand other people—how they are alike, how they are different, and why they do what they do. Armed with this understanding, readers will be able to pursue their personal, social, and organizational goals more efficiently. A practical reference, this text is extremely useful for MBA students and for all those studying organizational psychology and leadership.

"Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results." - Andrew Carnegie Humanity’s greatest accomplishments, from building the pyramids in Egypt to exploring the outer reaches of the universe, are the result of group effort. In business, high-performing teams can achieve superior results to individuals. Teams are also susceptible to countless forms of dysfunction, and, if poorly managed, even the most talented groups can fall flat. Written by industry iconoclasts Drs. Gordon Curphy and Robert Hogan, The Rocket Model taps research and experience by the world’s leading experts on human behavior, leadership, and team dynamics to create a practical model for building and managing high-performing teams. “For millennia, our ancestors worked in teams to adapt, advance, and accomplish feats that continue to inspire awe,” says Hogan. “Yet despite the obvious importance of collective action, academia and business analysts alike have failed to produce a practical, science-based guide to building and managing high-functioning teams. The Rocket Model draws on our decades of work in the public and private sectors to provide essential tools to launch new teams, diagnose and resolve conflict, and maximize performance.”
