Leverage Innate Strengths to Boost Collaboration and Results
The Kolbe System™ is a proven, scientific approach to higher individual and team performance. It provides insights on how individuals naturally solve problems, measured along four Action Modes®.
These innate patterns do not change over the course of a person’s life and can be incredibly revealing for how your executives manage and lead.
The composite of your leadership team’s individual scores determines their ability to work collaboratively. Teams with a variety of innate problem-solving approaches are more productive and effective. On the other hand, if many of the team members have similar approaches, they could easily get stuck in inertia. You might see a pattern of missing deadlines.
What the Kolbe System™ can reveal about your team’s strength:
The tool helps us see where the team has a balanced mix of innate talents and whether the way the team works together allows them to fully leverage those talents. It raises awareness of how each leader instinctively initiates action and which tasks are easy and energizing for them. It shows how to optimize the work flow among the members to be most efficient and produce the best possible outcome.


What the Kolbe System™ can reveal about the team’s struggles:
The assessment shows where the team members’ innate approaches might cause collaboration challenges, stunting progress towards important goals. It reveals where the leaders are working against their natural flow, creating unnecessary friction, stress, and fatigue. It helps them have productive conversations about the patterns at play instead of getting frustrated with each other.
How we use the Kolbe System™ as part of your team’s roadmap:
Our experience with Kolbe spans decades. We use its findings to help the team understand and appreciate how each member operates and how their instinctive approach to the work can make the team stronger. We leverage the data to explore collaboration strategies that will allow each leader to bring more of what’s brilliant about them into their role while avoiding disruptive patterns. The team discovers how to hit their “zone” of peak potential, day in and day out, so they can achieve their biggest goals faster and more easily.
