Delegate After You Know the Facts:
We all have natural strengths which are not the same as innate problem- solving abilities. You
can take your free natural strengths test at the VIA Character.org. Again, it’s free so find out a
little more about yourself. Once you have a better understanding of your strengths use them
to your advantage.
Kolbe A Assessment helps you decide what to do with your “TO Do” List
Should you delete, delegate or do in increments…

Another key assessment is the Kolbe A Index. The Kolbe index tells you your natural way of
solving problems. Think about that for a moment. We procrastinate not because we are lazy,
we tie a negative emotion to a task. What would it feel like if you could use your innate
problem- solving skills and save yourself time, effort and mental energy?
If you work on a team, then work together and use one another’s innate way to approach
problems. Working together, using a wide array of problem-solving skills balances teams and
builds true synergy. It’s that synergy that gets things done. When you know how you address
problems you better understand your innate abilities and learn how to expend your mental
energy.
For example, if I don’t like to spend my time on administrative business tasks but know it’s a
necessity, then I might consider delegating that task. If I can’t delegate it, I should break it up
into the Chicken Cacciatore Plan model. Plan how long the task will take and plan to get it done
incrementally. And one of the best options is thinking about hitting the delete button. You
don’t have to do everything and quite frankly you can’t do everything, so stop trying.
