Empowering Action to Unleash Human Potential: Discover Kolbe
Angela Myers - New Zealand based Kolbe Certified Consultant
Have you ever considered that the way you naturally take action is as unique to you as your fingerprint? At the core of every individual's essence is the power of Conation – the aspect of the mind responsible for action, or 'doing'. Kolbe offers an unparalleled approach to understanding and harnessing this often-overlooked psychological component. Here's why it's important and how it can transform both personal and professional domains.
What is Conation?
Imagine the mind as a triad of forces: the Cognitive part where we think, the Affective where we feel, and the Conative where we act. While most psychological assessments focus on the first two, Kolbe.com shines a spotlight on the third part – the Conative.
Conation encompasses the striving instincts that drive a person's natural method of operation. Unlike personality or intelligence, which can change over time, these conative strengths are innate and consistent throughout a person's life. They are the essence of our instinctual drive, the personal 'doing' powers that propel us into action.
The Kolbe System: Measuring the Immeasurable
Kolbe introduces the Kolbe Assessment, a pioneering tool that quantifies the Conative part of the mind. It's the only system in the world that does so, offering insights into how individuals are naturally inclined to take action.
The assessment categorises these instincts into four modes:
Quick Start: The instinct for dealing with risk and uncertainty.
Implementor: The instinct that deals with the use and interaction with space and tangibles.
Fact Finder: The drive to probe for information and organise it.
Follow Thru: The inclination to sort and stabilise.
These modes reflect the different ways in which people strive when they are free to be themselves.
Why Kolbe A™ Results Are Unmatched
The Kolbe A™ Index returns results that are stable and unbiased, able to predict how a person will act in given situations. For those using the Kolbe system, this means that the advice and solutions provided are grounded in a reliable understanding of individual and team dynamics.
By understanding a person's natural strengths, it's possible to align tasks and responsibilities to suit these talents, leading to increased productivity, satisfaction, and success. It's a method that goes beyond theory to practical, actionable strategies.
Practical Applications of Kolbe Wisdom
Kolbe's powerful solutions have significant applications in various areas:
Hiring: Align job candidates with roles that suit their innate strengths.
Coaching: Offer more effective personal development plans.
Organisational Development: Improve team performance by leveraging the collective natural strengths of group members.
By considering the conative strengths of individuals and teams, organisations can foster an environment where natural talents flourish, leading to better outcomes and improved efficiency.
Conclusion: Action is the Key
In a landscape dominated by assessments of personality and intellect, Kolbe provides a fresh lens through which to view human potential. It's not just who we are or what we know, but how we act that shapes our success.
