Team Development in the Modern Age

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by Krista Pederson, Hogan's managing director of Asia Pacific, to talk about the recent launch of Hogan’s Global Leadership Effectiveness Study, a groundbreaking research study aimed at identifying the characteristics shared among effective leaders.

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake talk about social influence and why people change their behaviors because of social interactions. We’ve all been guilty at some point in our lives of allowing others to influence our decisions, whether consciously or subconsciously. But what underlying psychological factors are at play? Why do we allow these external forces to change the way we think, feel, and behave? 

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by Ty Wiggins, PhD, the lead of Russell Reynolds Associates’ CEO & Transitions Practice, to talk about CEO transitions and his latest book, The New CEO. Although there might be numerous people out there who might consider themselves experts on this topic, Ty is one of only a handful of people globally who actually has a PhD in senior leadership transitions. So, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone with more knowledge and expertise on this particular subject.Order The New CEO here: https://www.russellreynolds.com/en/microsite/the-new-ceo/order

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by Larry Martinez, PhD, associate professor of psychology and the A. Dale Thompson Endowed Chair of Leadership at the University of Texas at Arlington, to talk about the psychology behind the Salem Witch Trials. For those in the US and beyond, this is probably something you’re somewhat aware of, but did you know that it’s highly likely that those accused of and executed for crimes of witchcraft in early American history actually weren’t witches at all? So, what happened? What was going on in the psyche of early-day American settlers that led them to believe the “offenders” were witches? We cover this and so much more in the second and final spooky season episode of 2024.

Well, we’re back at it again this year and we hope you enjoy this year's first spooky season episode. Cheers, everybody!

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake talk about a newer topic that is on the minds of many Hogan clients, partners, and distributors, and that is the issues that could arise from a “nice” corporate culture and how to combat them. In theory, having a nice culture sounds ideal on the surface, but does it really deliver results and is it the best model in today’s world? 

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by Kyle Cermak, director of business development on Hogan's solutions partners team, to talk about team development in the modern age. It should come as no surprise that work has changed significantly in recent years, as many more of us have transitioned to a hybrid working model or working from home entirely. But that doesn’t mean teams have disappeared. It just means that they must operate differently, and team development is ultimately the key to overall team effectiveness and performance in this new world of work.
