Leadership Profile

I took the Hogan Leadership Assessment to get an outside view of how I lead. The short version: collaborative, transparent by default, and I want evidence before I decide. The takeaways below include the flaws, because a strengths-only profile isn't worth reading.

Key takeaways from the assessment:

  • Collaborative by default. I build trust through inclusion and shared ownership, not top-down direction. My teams have high psychological safety and low attrition.
  • Data-informed. I want evidence before deciding, and I push back on decisions that have none.
  • Commercial lens. I frame engineering work as business outcomes, and I'm comfortable making that case in the exec room.
  • What I'm working on. I can chase consensus when speed matters more. I've learned to set decision rights upfront.
  • Under pressure. I stay calm and stick to the process, which steadies teams. It also means I sometimes have to work harder to signal urgency.
