Abstract

This paper was presented at the 1st International Coaching Psychology Conference, London, December, 2006.Individual personality differences can, at times of pressure, manifest as extreme traits so that attention to detail, for instance, can show as perfectionism. These personality differences, referred to here as ‘the dark sides’ of personality, can result in dysfunctional behaviour at work, and impact on individuals, teams and the organisation. This article will explain how two psychometric measurements: the Hogan Personality Inventory and the Hogan Development Survey were used to assess for potential dark side behaviours, and were incorporated into a developmental coaching programme for a senior manager.
