Domino Derailers
In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by Trish Kellett, Hogan’s executive advisor for strategic initiatives and former director of the Hogan Coaching Network, Rebecca Feder, principal consultant at Princeton HR Insight, and Rebecca Ghanadan, PhD, founder and principal at Aspis Coaching Group, to talk about Domino Derailers.

The Hidden Cost of Toxic Employees
In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake talk about toxic employees and the affect they have on organizations across the globe. We’ve all experienced it: the colleague who brings the mood down, the boss who thrives on chaos, or the team member whose negativity drains the energy from the room. These “everyday” toxic behaviors create stress, hamper productivity, and leave us feeling demoralized. But what may not be immediately apparent is the significant hidden cost they carry.
