Our Kolbe scores show we are completely misaligned on how we solve problems. How do you help us navigate this conative friction during our sessions so we can actually execute our strategic goals?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

Your Kolbe scores represent your natural, unchanging mode of action. If you have a Visionary who initiates in Quick Start and an Integrator who initiates in Fact Finder, friction is inevitable, but it is also a tremendous strength if managed correctly.

During our sessions, we do not try to change anyone's natural conative wiring. Instead, we align your quarterly Rocks and roles on the Accountability Chart to leverage these natural talents. Knowing your conative style allows us to predict where communication will break down between sessions so we can build safeguards into your weekly Level 10 Meetings.

By understanding how each team member naturally gathers information, structures tasks, and handles risk, we can design workflows that minimize friction. We turn what could be a source of constant frustration into a powerful, complementary partnership that drives execution.
