Companion Book to the Hogan Development Survey - "The Blame Game"
When it comes to the social dynamics of credit and blame, perceptions matter. Leaders have different styles of assigning credit and blame, and different styles can be perceived as more or less effective and motivational in different situations, roles, and organizations. This book builds on results from the Hogan Development Survey.
