Insight Series: This report package includes interpretive reports for the Hogan Personality Inventory, the Hogan Development Survey, and the Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory. Hogan Leadership Forecast Series: This series of reports gives leaders a complete understanding of their performance capabilities, challenges, and underlying motivators along with a Flash Report. The Hogan Lead is an instrument designed to provide effective ways to integrate personality assessment into selection, development, and talent identification. The Hogan is an essential tool necessary in the coaching of current and future leaders within JFKSWCS and those heading to operational leadership assignments throughout the enterprise. The leadership and development coaching program is an initiative supported by both the SWCS and USASOC Commander. The Officers coaching program is in 18A/37A/38A Qualification Courses' Point of Instruction (POIs), and will be used for Command leadership development and preparation for Command and other leadership positions.
