Hogan Launches State-of-the-Art Executive Coaching Platform Leadership Formula

TULSA, Okla., March 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Hogan Assessment Systems is again setting the standard in management consulting practices.

The company today announced a strategic partnership with Seldman Learning and the official premier of Leadership Formula, a powerful tool that marries the self-awareness of personality assessment with the skills-based training of executive coaching.

Based on the Hogan personality assessments, Leadership Formula is an outstanding solution for leaders looking to leverage their test results to improve personal and team performance.

"Individual personality governs everything we do – how we deal with change, execute business strategies, resolve conflict and manage people. All of those things affect our ability to be successful leaders," said Hogan Managing Partner Dr. Rodney Warrenfeltz.

"When you combine that level of self-awareness with the lessons learned over 25 years of executive coaching, you have a tool built to affect meaningful professional growth," said Marty Seldman, president at Seldman Learning.

Leadership Formula is organized in a time- and cost-effective modular format designed to increase strategic self-awareness, identify personal career and performance risks and accelerate professional development. Leadership Formula is also designed to teach executives the coaching skills necessary to identify, develop and manage talented professionals.

"We equip participants to be their own coach," Seldman said. "This eliminates the need for costly external coaches and gives them the tools to identify and develop the potential of their team."

Freshly graduated from its pilot program, Leadership Formula is already receiving positive reviews.

"Leadership Formula is a must-have foundational element for any company trying to accelerate its talent development efforts," said DirecTV CEO Mike White.

"I introduced Leadership Formula to my team at PepsiCo and the feedback and impact have been outstanding," said Anne Fink, Senior VP/GM at PepsiCo Sales. "The course also equips our leaders with the skills to deliver feedback and coaching to their teams. I highly recommend this course as an invaluable development opportunity for individual teams."
