Yet, many professionals spend their careers working against their instincts, striving to improve in ways that don’t align with their natural strengths. The result? Frustration, fatigue, and diminishing returns. Kolbe Corp helps individuals and teams unlock their innate strengths by aligning their work with what feels natural, leading to sustainable, long-term performance.
A Legacy of Excellence in Performance Research
Kolbe has been at the forefront of psychometric research for decades, helping individuals and teams unlock their full potential by focusing on instinctive strengths. Founded by Kathy Kolbe, a pioneer in understanding human performance, the company has built a trusted reputation for delivering actionable insights.
Today, Kolbe Corp continues its legacy under the leadership of siblings David Kolbe, CEO, and Amy Bruske, President. David was instrumental in developing the algorithm for the Kolbe A™ Index, a groundbreaking resource that redefines how people approach productivity and decision-making. Bruske, one of only three Senior Master Consultants in the Kolbe Concept®, helps businesses worldwide apply these principles to leadership and team dynamics. Together, they are carrying forward Kathy Kolbe’s vision by showing organizations how aligning with natural strengths can create sustainable success.
The Three C’s Framework: Your Path to Sustainable Performance
Kolbe’s philosophy centers on the Three C’s Framework—Clarity, Commitment, and Collaboration—guiding principles that help individuals and teams consistently leverage their strengths and reach sustainable performance:
- Clarity: Understand your unique strengths and instinctive way of taking action. When you gain clarity about what comes naturally, decision-making becomes intuitive, reducing struggle and increasing effectiveness.
- Commitment: Focus your energy on tasks that align with your strengths. Strategic commitment to what you do best maximizes impact while avoiding the burnout that comes from trying to do everything.
- Collaboration: Recognize when to partner with others who bring complementary skills. This creates synergy, enabling both individual and team achievements to flourish.
What Makes the Kolbe A Index a Game-Changer?
The Kolbe A Index isn’t your average assessment. Unlike tools like Myers-Briggs or DISC that measure personality or cognitive skills, the Kolbe A Index reveals your conative strengths—your instinctive way of taking action. This focus on conation sets The Kolbe System™ apart, offering insights that lead to actionable and sustainable change.
David Kolbe explains, “Instead of offering a magic pill, we help people understand themselves first. Once they do, they can create custom solutions that actually work for them.”
Rather than providing generic advice, the Kolbe A Index empowers individuals and teams to craft strategies that align with their natural strengths. For leaders, this clarity fosters collaboration, unlocks creativity, and builds confidence in complex environments.
Unlocking the Potential of Teams and Leaders
Kolbe’s methods have transformed organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small enterprises. When teams operate in alignment with their instinctive strengths, they don’t just meet goals—they surpass them. By focusing on what comes naturally, individuals can optimize productivity, improve decision-making, and sustain long-term growth.
For leaders, understanding both their own strengths and those of their teams creates a workplace where collaboration thrives, innovation flourishes, and challenges are met with confidence.
