Selecting the right executive requires more than evaluating experience and leadership capability—it also requires understanding how a leader will influence, strengthen, and adapt to an organization's culture. Yet culture is often viewed as subjective, leaving executive search consultants to rely on intuition rather than objective evidence when assessing candidate fit.

In this webinar, Dr. Ryne Sherman, Chief Science Officer at Hogan Assessments, explores the science behind organizational culture and demonstrates how personality and values assessments can provide meaningful insight into executive leadership effectiveness. Drawing on decades of research and practical application, Dr. Sherman examines how leaders shape organizational culture, how culture influences leadership success, and how assessment data can improve executive selection decisions.

Participants will leave with practical strategies for incorporating evidence-based assessment into the search process, enabling them to deliver stronger candidate recommendations and provide greater strategic value to clients. By participating in this webinar, registrants will learn how to:
