The Platinum Rule The assessment is divided into three parts
First-Presents your assessment results. Second-Focuses on understanding your style characteristics and offers strategies for increasing your personal effectiveness. There is no ‘best’ style. Each style has its unique strengths and opportunities for continued improvement and growth. All of the behavioral descriptions mentioned are tendencies only and may or may not apply to you personally. Third-Focuses on how to use the Platinum Rule concept with others and is the most important.

The Ultimate Goal Productive relationships So
You do not have to change your personality, ideas, beliefs, or values. You do not have to roll over and submit to others. You simply have to understand what drives people and recognize your options in dealing with them. So Understand your own style. Understand and be able to quickly and accurately identify the style of others. Adapt so that you treat others the way they want to be treated.

The Platinum Rule What behavior style you are?
You have probably found yourself relating to one of the styles..... What style is your boss, co-worker, subordinates, spouse, children, neighbor, etc. As a reminder- There is no best style Each has its strong/weak points

The Platinum Rule Philosophy
Step #1 Recognize and understand your Behavior Style Step #2 Understand and be able to quickly and accurately identify the style of others Are we here? Step #3 Adapt so that you treat others the way they want to be treated.

The Platinum Rule As mentioned earlier, the key to success in this applied philosophy, we must focus on patterns of external, observable behaviors using scales of directness and openness that each style exhibits. Because we can see and hear these external behaviors, it becomes much easier to ‘understand’ people.

The Platinum Rule These are powerful life-skills that will serve you well in all your relationships: work, friends, school, spouse, and children.

High Performance Leadership
Position Power-Granted and Given A certain amount of power comes from being placed/elected into a position of authority. Employees/Volunteers become “compliant” to leaders who have position power. Personal Power-Earned and Developed Displaying your skill in dealing with people. Employees/Volunteers become “cooperative” to leaders who display personal power. Practice “The Platinum Rule”

The “Best” Leadership Style
The best leader is not someone with a particular behavior style The best leader realizes what a job or task requires-then does it That requires a person who works well with all of the personality styles in all sorts of situations

If You’re A Director Ratchet down a notch or two….
Keep in mind that others have feelings and that your hard-charging, know-it-all style can make your subordinates feel inadequate and often resentful Encourage growth in others by praising them and give them some authority Try not to be quite so bossy Ask others’ opinions and even plan some collaborative actions

If You’re A Socializer If you fail to follow-up, procrastinate on tough decisions, or make pledges you don’t keep, your employees will loose faith. Come to grips with the fact that conflicts are going to occur. Try to deal with them up front, not sweep them under the rug. Organize your time better and keep your socializing in balance with your tasks

If You’re A Relater Learn to stretch a little, take on more, or different, duties and try to accomplish them more quickly. You may want to be more assertive as well as more open about your thoughts and feelings. Being sensitive is your strength, but you must seek a middle ground between that and being knocked off balance by the first negative comment or action that comes your way.

If You’re A Thinker Your employees are inspired by your quest for excellence, but often the feel frustrated because they can never quite seem to please you. Lessen and soften your criticism, spoken or unspoken. Ease up on your need to control Walk around and spend more time with your employees.

Making Teams Work Analyze the objective before you recruit a group and then create a team that best matches the desired results Assign projects to those able to do them well Sustain a cooperative climate in which each person can gain genuine respect Customize work groups to get the best results in the most efficient, satisfying manner

Making Teams Work How the Four Styles act in groups They each bring a different perspective to a group. And different ways of doing things too. Each communicates, influences, involves others and make decisions in different manners.

Making Teams Work Communicating
Director-Tend to communicate with short, task- oriented comments. Concerned with having a clear agenda and setting the tone, keeping the discussion on track and on time. Socializer-Communicate more frequently and more evenly throughout a meeting. Their comments may include jokes and cover a range of topics so wide that it may appear they are hopping all over the place .

Making Teams Work Communicating
Relater-Seem generally interested in discussions throughout the whole meeting and may ask many questions. Naturally act as synthesizers, go- betweens, or translators. Thinker-Usually just quietly observe until they grasp an issue fully and figure out in some detail what they want to say and if they’ll feel comfortable saying it.

Making Teams Work Using Influence
Directors- Like to influence others by structuring agendas, tasks, and assignments and, if relevant, using their formal position as leverage. Socializers-Use flattery or compliments to win over the group. Often use humor to defuse tension or conflict. Try to avoid a hard line that will lose them acceptance or recognition by the group.

Making Teams Work Using Influence
Relaters-Often take on the role of keeping the process moving along. They’ll elaborate on what others say and encourage everyone to speak. Exert influence by keeping things mellow and moving. Thinkers-Use the tools of logic and information. They like to furnish information that, directly or indirectly, suggests their expertise and experience. They’re the most likely to focus on the “rightness” or logic of a solution, rather than spending a lot of time debating who’s personally helped or hindered by it.

Making Teams Work Involving Others
Directors- Groups assembled by Directors are smaller and have shorter meetings. They want groups to make some key decisions on key issues, and then delegate the rest of the work to individuals or sub-committees. Socializers-Are more inclined to favor a group for the group’s sake. They like others to be involved in the give-and-take. Not everyone who is put on a committee by a Socializer will have a logical role but, in the mind of the Socializer, the person adds value.

Making Teams Work Involving Others
Relaters-Are innately attracted to groups. However, instead of using meetings for presentation of reports, they prefer to work toward consensus as they collect information from many sources. Thinkers-Involve others in groups to get information from a wide variety of sources. However, The Thinkers are just less comfortable operating in groups. They prefer to have much of the work done behind the scenes by individuals. They also like to be the only one who knows how all the parts of the group’s task puzzle fit together.

Making Teams Work Decision Making
Directors- Meetings run by Directors, decisions are more likely to be made unilaterally by the Director or they will call for a vote. Voting is preferred by Directors since it is clean, quick, and decisive. It keeps debate to a minimum. Closure is clearly attained. Next topic. Socializers-Being more people oriented try to work out compromises that reduce resentment and maybe even fudge over differences. They like to downplay group decisions. Not big on voting since it creates winners and losers.

Making Teams Work Decision Making
Relaters-Also prefer decision by consensus and prefer to see a majority of the group “on the bus” so actions tend to be worked and reworked until almost all are in agreement. Thinkers-Crave “rational” decisions. Optimally, the decision won’t be made as much as it will be dictated by the facts and logic of the situation. They like to list the pros and cons of issues-sometimes even weighing the options numerically-to reach the “correct” decision. The process, they believe, will make obvious the best course of action.

The Secret Of Sales Contrary to what passes for age-old wisdom, customers don’t buy because they’re made to understand the product or service. They buy when they feel they are understood. They buy when they get what they expect-and more. But more what?

The Secret Of Sales The savvy salesperson knows the Director customer wants more control, the Socializer customer cries out for more recognition and excitement, the Relater customer wants more support, and the Thinker customer wants more logic. The most successful salespeople customize their approach and follow-through for each type

The Secret Of Sales A Cooperative Triumph A Matching Process
The modern, collaborative salesperson helps the customer solve a problem, fill a need, or reach a goal. A Matching Process Match the right product or service to the customer’s needs and the selling style must also match the customer’s buying style

The Secret Of Sales Adjusting Pace and Priority
Recognize and properly adjust your selling style that of the buyer Listen more than you speak Working Toward a Win-Win Treating customers the way they want to be treated, selling to them in the way they want to buy, is a strategy that can change your life.

Providing Service with Style
Exceeding expectations Dealing with Directors A fast-pace Evidence they have control of the situation A belief that time is being saved Show tangible signs of progress Dealing with Socializers Personal attention Affirmation of their position Lots of verbal give-and-take Assurance that effort is being saved

Providing Service with Style
Exceeding expectations Dealing with Relaters Make them feel they’re personally “okay” Promise that the crisis will soon ebb Guarantee the process will be relaxed and pleasant Show your commitment to working with them Dealing with Thinkers Suggest that they’re right Explain the process and details Show appreciation for their accuracy Help them “save face”

Leadership Styles Directive Leadership Consultative Leadership
Participative Leadership Negotiative Leadership Delegative Leadership Transactional Leadership Transformational Leadership Charismatic Leadership

Directive Leadership Tells the subordinates what to do and how to do it; is very task oriented Initiates the action about the things to do and tells subordinates exactly what is expected of them, specifically standards and deadlines Exercise firm rules and ensure subordinates follow Employees find it difficult to work under this type of leadership due to its restriction of potential in regards to creativity and initiative

Consultative Leadership
Very task oriented and focuses on the end result Very similar to Directive style; still has the last say in regards to the decision, but is willing to ask subordinates for their opinion Recognizes the benefit of considering all views before coming to a final decision As a result, the quality of decisions made will often be far better than if made without considering all points of view

Participative Leadership
Takes into consideration the opinions and thoughts of the subordinates and all team members before making a decision Especially useful when diverse talents of team members can offer insight not known or shared by all members The responsibility of the decision will be bore by the whole team since usually the decision is unanimously agreed upon by all team members

Negotiative Leadership
Comes to the table with their own agenda and seeks out personal interest ahead of and before that of the organizations Leverage their position as leaders and entice followers to perform tasks for incentives and other benefits This style is destructive because when everyone looks out for themselves, no one looks out for the benefit of the organization A house divided can not stand

Delegative Leadership
An advanced form of leadership and should not be experimented with Requires a large amount of trust and faith on the side of the leader to actually fully delegate task to the followers Can only be successful once the followers are prepared to be totally independent Empowering your followers means giving them the competencies to complete any task successfully from start to finish

Transactional Leadership
Generally found in middle management Generally more directive style by telling their subordinates what exactly is to be done and task-oriented Practice ‘management-by-exception’ where they set work objectives and standards, but wait for problems before reacting to them Reward followers according to performance Not typically the leadership style found in volunteer organizations

Transformational Leadership
Also known as a ‘Visionary’ leaders and found at the top of successful organizations Known to make positive changes to the environment Seek to meet the needs of others before their own An attitude that there is always room for improvement Shares a vision from the heart with others Impeccable character standards in terms of integrity and responsibility

Charismatic Leadership
Induce more belief on team and stakeholders than otherwise A trusting individual whom people feel comfortable around when uncertainty exists Move the hearts of men by spoken or written words They have attractive and likeable personality and have big, exciting visions Tend to speak and visualize of how great the future could be to their team
