Personality Key to Career Success 2017
August 1st, 2017
Leadership and performance are tied to personality, states a psychologist is his newly published book.
“Leadership and managerial performance are a direct function of a person’s personality, and, in turn, they directly influence the effectiveness of organizations,” said Robert Hogan, a former psychology professor for 30 years at The University of Tulsa and at Johns Hopkins University.

Because many college students have not had professional experience in the past, they need to be made aware of what is expected of them in a role with your company. It will give them a foundation to start off on, and they will be more motivated to take their responsibilities seriously.
