WHAT IS HLX?
Hogan Leadership Experience (HLX) is a leadership-development web-platform designed to help leaders and coaches turn personality assessment insights into action.
- It integrates the results of Hogan’s core personality assessments – HPI, HDS and MVPI – to give leaders insight into how their personality traits affect their leadership behaviour.
- It provides tools for action planning, goal-setting, journaling, tracking progress and linking the personality insight with development activity.
- It supports coaching engagements (one-to-one) where coaches use HLX to guide development discussions, set follow-up activities and monitor progress.
About HLX
Who is it for?
-
Leaders at different levels: individual contributors, first-level managers, middle managers, executives.
-
Coaches and organisations that want a data-driven, structured leadership-development programme rather than ad-hoc feedback.
-
Organisations wanting to connect assessment data to sustainable behaviour change, not just one-off reports.
Why is it valuable?
-
It builds on decades of Hogan’s research into personality and performance – so it’s more than just a “survey and report”.
-
It helps bridge the gap between “I understand my profile” and “I know what I should do and how to track it” – moving from awareness → action.
-
For coaches, it offers a scalable framework: less time deciphering assessment outputs, more time on meaningful development conversations.
Things to keep in mind.
-
HLX is a platform/experience, not just a static assessment. So the outcomes depend on follow-through: action planning, journaling, coaching.
-
While the core assessment data is important, the value-add is in context: how it’s used, how the leader interprets and implements change.
-
To use HLX effectively, you need certified Hogan practitioners or coaches familiar with Hogan’s constructs and the HLX framework.
Domains
It all starts with four domains.
A domain summarises a broad area of multi-dimensional leadership demands which combine to influence a leader’s effectiveness in achieving team and organisational results in a given performance context.
Dimensions & Behaviours
Each domain breaks down into two dimensions and four behaviours.
Dimensions integrate two complementary behaviours that interact and affect how others experience a leader’s approach to a given leadership demand.
Behaviours provide in-depth insight into the typical way a leader responds to a specific leadership requirement, based on a combination of personality attributes.
