In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by Trish Kellett, Hogan's executive advisor for strategic initiatives and former director of the Hogan Coaching Network, Rebecca Feder, principal consultant at Princeton HR Insight, and Rebecca Ghanadan, PhD, founder and principal at Aspis Coaching Group, to talk about Domino Derailers. This is a relatively new concept when it comes to Hogan terminology and was actually coined by Trish during her time as director of the Hogan Coaching Network. And, because Rebecca F. and Rebecca G. are also members of the Hogan Coaching Network, we thought it would be fun to do a panel with three guests for this very special episode.

The Hidden Cost of Toxic Employees
In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake talk about toxic employees and the affect they have on organizations across the globe. We’ve all experienced it: the colleague who brings the mood down, the boss who thrives on chaos, or the team member whose negativity drains the energy from the room. These "everyday" toxic behaviors create stress, hamper productivity, and leave us feeling demoralized. But what may not be immediately apparent is the significant hidden cost they carry.

Charisma in Politics
In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by Zsolt Feher, Hogan's vice president of business development, to talk about charisma in politics.

In this episode, we’ll talk about some of the more notable charismatic politicians throughout history, what personality characteristics they have in common, and whether they actually are effective leaders.

Evolutionary Psychology
In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by Douglas Kenrick, PhD, professor of psychology at Arizona State University, to talk about evolutionary psychology. What are its primary concepts? What implications does it have? And why is it such a controversial topic to so many people? Dr. Kenrick has spent decades researching and lecturing on this topic and is viewed by his peers as one of the leading experts in this area.
Personality affects the way we relate to the world and the people in it, how we work, who we love, and how other people see us. Although the study of personality is centuries old, our ability to understand and control such a complex and abstract concept is relatively new in the context of history. Featuring some of the world’s leading experts in personality psychology and business, this podcast explores the impact of personality on life, leadership, and organizational success.
