Like all individuals, we all have an “Action Mode." The trick sometimes is to figure out what helps us to lock in and go especially at our best when everything is firing and we feel like we are in that sweet spot zone…you know the one.
So let's take a look at our KOLBE “Fact Finders"...
Our "Fact Finders" are the ones who rely heavily on historical perspectives and detailed analysis when it's “go time." Their unique approach to time is that they operate primarily from a focus on the past. Excelling at estimating how long tasks will take, drawing on their experience and expertise to make accurate predictions, our Fact Finders are able to look bak to look forward. This historical context allows them to evaluate the effectiveness of past actions and apply those lessons to current situations - generally with a great amount of accuracy.
In communication, "Fact Finders" prefer to use written words, ensuring that their messages are clear, detailed, and well-documented. This method of communication allows them to express their ideas with precision and to provide the necessary context for others to understand their point of view. Their preference for written communication is also reflected in their learning habits. When seeking to understand a new concept, "Fact Finders" often turn to books and other respected resources to explore how similar challenges have been addressed before. They are methodical learners who value traditional approaches and thoroughly investigate a topic before forming conclusions.
Achieving goals is a well-lined out process for "Fact Finders" as well. They rely on their strengths to set priorities, carefully weigh the pros and cons, and make decisions that are grounded in practicality and realism.
Keywords that you might describe someone with high "Fact Finder" strengths include: "traditional," "historical," "detailed," "thorough," "practical," "realistic," and "specific."
And when it's time to take action, they focus in by asking, "What is the number one thing I'm trying to accomplish?" This question helps them streamline their efforts and ensures they remain aligned with their objectives.
So when asked what it might look like when you step into action, what might you say?
