We have leadership team members with high Fact Finder or Follow Thru Kolbe scores who get bogged down in over-analyzing our workflow automation during session days. How do you keep us moving forward?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

During our sessions, we often see a clash between high-level strategic vision and detailed execution, especially when introducing AI-powered operations. Team members with high Fact Finder or Follow Thru scores on the Kolbe A Index naturally want to analyze every single step of a workflow automation before committing to it. This can paralyze decision-making. As your facilitator, I manage this conative split by keeping the team focused on the macro level first. We do not design complex technology workflows in the middle of a session day. Instead, we identify the operational bottleneck as an issue, and then we assign a specific, measurable Rock to research and build the automation during the ninety-day cycle. This respects their natural need for details without slowing down our strategic momentum. We treat AI integration as an operational tool to buy back your team's time, not as a theoretical exercise. By framing the behavior as an opportunity to build a highly scalable, valuable business asset, we align their natural problem-solving strengths with our long-term exit goals. We focus on progress, not perfection, during the session.
