Understanding the Kolbe Wisdom™
Viridian Group uses Kolbe Corp. products and services to help define success in businesses large and small. Kathy Kolbe defines success as the freedom to be yourself. Cultural expectations, stereotypes, biases, self expectations and job requirements all contribute to tainting the freedom for people to be themselves.
Using the Kolbe Wisdom™, through Viridian, allows you to maximize organizational performance by freeing people to utilize their instinctive talent and harnessing that talent into synergistic to drive productivity.
Leadership is more than just hiring the right people. It's more than just getting the members of your team to buy-in to company goals. You also have to work together, be productive, and make a commitment of mental energy toward your goals.
Assessment tools have historically focused on measuring cognitive (IQ) and the affective (personality) of the mind. While these tools are helpful in selecting, training and managing people, something has been missing.
IQ scores are influenced by opportunities to learn, and being smart doesn't necessarily predict success. Personality traits are situational and people who get along don't always do a job successfully or accomplish the team's goals.
