ABOUT US
ASSESSMENTS
Effective hiring processes are invaluable
• Hiring mistakes are costly!
Assessments should be part of the mix
• Effective reduction in hiring risk
• Typically a good cost/benefit decision
Unfortunately, too few companies use assessments.
ASSESSMENTS
There is no “silver bullet” assessment tool available.
Our advice, use several assessments if it is practically and
economically feasible.
• Founded by Kathy Kolbe
• In business for over 25 years
• Used by clients of all size
• Some notable clients include:
• American Express, Chase Bank, Hershey Company, Intel,
Microsoft, Motorola, Prudential, and the U.S. Army
ABOUT KOLBE
CENTRAL IDEAS
• Creative Instincts are the first things to kick in after you are motivated to take
action.
• Understanding one’s creative instincts will help the individual to better
manage these energies.
• Understanding others will improve communications, collaboration and
hiring.
• Results = Better Individual Performance + Better Team Performance
KOLBE VIEW OF THE MIND
The mind that has the following equal faculties:
• Affective (Emotional) - feelings and motivation
• Desires, beliefs, attitudes, emotional intelligence, preferences, values
…things commonly thought of as personality
• Cognitive (Intellectual) – thought
• IQ, reason, and knowledge, skills gained and experience
• Conative (Functional) – instinctive actions
• Instinct, creative powers, mental energies, talents
EMPLOYEE ASSESSMENT PROGRAMS
HIGH PERFORMANCE ZONE
Conative = Instinctive behaviors (Kolbe Profile)
Affective = Motivation, Values, Emotional Intelligence
Cognitive = IQ, Skills and Knowledge
CONATIVE ISSUES…
Are the ones that keep you awake at night
Burn-out, reduced effectiveness and low joy of accomplishment come from
working against your grain.
The brain works far more efficiently when it has the freedom to perform a task
according to its natural conative patterns of action… the person’s unique M.O.
McKonly & Asbury Webinar - Successful Investing in Human Capital
CHARACTERISTICS OF CREATIVE INSTINCTS
• Equal - we all have equal creative energy (100%).
• Neither Right nor Wrong – they represent our strengths/best
methods of operating.
• Unchanging - ingrained and unchangeable.
• 96% Test- Retest
CAPTURING INSTINCTIVE BEHAVIOR
• Creative instincts are manifested in a person’s blend of Kolbe Action
Modes®, or their MO.
• Separate and distinct patterns of brain activity exist for each of the
four conative Action Modes®.
• Kolbe Action Modes® constitute observable behaviors that result
from the use of instinctive strengths.

  • 9. CENTRAL IDEAS • Creative Instincts are the first things to kick in after you are motivated to take action. • Understanding one’s creative instincts will help the individual to better manage these energies. • Understanding others will improve communications, collaboration and hiring. • Results = Better Individual Performance + Better Team Performance
  • 10. KOLBE VIEW OF THE MIND The mind that has the following equal faculties: • Affective (Emotional) - feelings and motivation • Desires, beliefs, attitudes, emotional intelligence, preferences, values …things commonly thought of as personality • Cognitive (Intellectual) – thought • IQ, reason, and knowledge, skills gained and experience • Conative (Functional) – instinctive actions • Instinct, creative powers, mental energies, talents
  • 12. HIGH PERFORMANCE ZONE Conative = Instinctive behaviors (Kolbe Profile) Affective = Motivation, Values, Emotional Intelligence Cognitive = IQ, Skills and Knowledge
  • 13. CONATIVE ISSUES… Are the ones that keep you awake at night Burn-out, reduced effectiveness and low joy of accomplishment come from working against your grain. The brain works far more efficiently when it has the freedom to perform a task according to its natural conative patterns of action… the person’s unique M.O.
  • 15. CHARACTERISTICS OF CREATIVE INSTINCTS • Equal - we all have equal creative energy (100%). • Neither Right nor Wrong – they represent our strengths/best methods of operating. • Unchanging - ingrained and unchangeable. • 96% Test- Retest
  • 16. CAPTURING INSTINCTIVE BEHAVIOR • Creative instincts are manifested in a person’s blend of Kolbe Action Modes®, or their MO. • Separate and distinct patterns of brain activity exist for each of the four conative Action Modes®. • Kolbe Action Modes® constitute observable behaviors that result from the use of instinctive strengths.
