People are most productive, work with less stress, and gain a greater sense of accomplishment when they are free to perform tasks in ways that are true to their instinctive natures. Identifying and unlocking an individual's natural method of operation, or modus operandi (MO), is central to the Kolbe System™.

The process starts with the Kolbe A™ Index, a one-of-a-kind, online behavioral assessment that quantifies an individual's instinctive makeup. Learning one's Kolbe A Index result typically generates a strong sense of personal enlightenment. This "Aha!" moment helps many people understand how to avoid working against their grain, and how to engage their unique, innate talents to overcome obstacles and achieve objectives.

By knowing and leveraging the instinctive talents of others, managers can improve individual and group productivity and significantly elevate employee morale. Index results also provide the basis for a range of organizational applications, including hiring, job design, compensation, team building, conflict resolution and process management.

Companies that follow Kolbe's approach enjoy multiple benefits, including higher retention rates, lower absenteeism, greater employee engagement and less job-related stress. But the biggest benefit most employees say they experience with Kolbe is improved communication. Kolbe's coaching audios, TeamSuccess® programs, and telephone consulting services help managers and senior leaders sustain these positive results.
