KOLBE A INDEX 
Kolbe Index
The Kolbe Concept holds that creative instincts are the source of mental energy that drives people to take specific actions. When people act according to instinct, their energy is almost inexhaustible - like water running downhill. But when people are forced to act against their instinct, their energy is rapidly depleted - like water being pumped uphill.True leaders give people the freedom to be themselves. Kolbe's unique assessments and diagnostic reports provide managers at all levels of an organization powerful new ways to maximize people's strengths and improve performance. Leaders who use the Kolbe System™ consistently exceed expectations by:
·         Assigning jobs suited to instinctive strengths
·         Building synergistic teams
·         Reducing obstacles that cause debilitating stress
·         Rewarding committed use of instinctive energy
·         Allowing for the appropriate use of time
·         Communicating in ways that trigger the use of natural instincts
 
Contact us by email or call (404) 756-2469 to learn more about Kolbe's customized leadership development programs for your TEAM.
Principles & Qualities of Genuine Leadership 
P&Q
Do you have leaders on the front lines or key individuals who play a major role in translating your units goals into reality?  Would a training program that helps develop people into leaders who can tackle tough business issues, inspire others to take action and do their best, and create effective work relationships with others benefit you and your team?  Contact us at (404) 756-2469 to discuss a day of training with your leaders at your location.  
Leading Through Conflict  
Conflict
Learning to deal with conflict from a Biblical approach is the focus of a new SLD workshop titled Leading Through Conflict. Building on trust and getting to peace requires attitudes and actions built on strong character that includes Humility, Courage, Integrity and Justice. Conflict is inevitable, but getting to peace is possible. Recommended for officers, corps leaders, directors and key employees.
