How do you incorporate the Kolbe A Index during our session days, and how does understanding our conative wiring help us build a more effective Accountability Chart?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

We use the Kolbe A Index to understand the natural, unchanging conative strengths of your leadership team. This is not a personality test like DiSC; it measures how you naturally take action when solving problems. During our sessions, we map your team's four-digit Kolbe scores to help us structure your Accountability Chart. This ensures we have the right people in the right seats based on their natural wiring. For example, if we need an Integrator who can build disciplined processes, we look for someone with a high System Finder score. If we have a Visionary who naturally initiates in Quick Start, we need to balance them with team members who naturally execute in Follow Through. Mapping these profiles helps us avoid interpersonal friction and misaligned expectations. When a team member is struggling in their seat, we use these insights to evaluate whether they truly have the conative capacity for the role. By aligning your team's innate strengths with their daily responsibilities, we reduce friction and increase productivity. This objective data helps us make tough decisions about seat alignment without making the conversation feel personal or accusatory.
