Has the Golden Rule Lost Its Glitter? by Tony Alessandra
Absolutely not! The Golden Rule has as much "glitter" as ever. I
believe and practice it 110%, especially when it comes to values, ethics,
honesty and consideration. However, when it comes to interpersonal
communication, it can very well backfire. The Golden Rule states: "Do unto
others as you would have them do unto you." Basically translated, that says to
treat others the way you would like to be treated, which of course isn't always
the case.
An addition to the Golden Rule is The Platinum Rule: "Treat others the way they
want to be treated." The focus of relationships shifts from "this is what I
want, so I'll give everyone the same thing" to "let me first understand what
they want and then I'll give it to them."
The goal of The Platinum Rule is personal chemistry and productive
relationships. You don't have to change your personality. You simply have to
understand what drives people and recognize your options for dealing with them.
The Platinum Rule divides behavioral preferences into four personality styles:
Director, Socializer, Relater, and Thinker. Everyone possesses the qualities of
each style to various degrees and everyone has a dominant style. The key to
using The Platinum Rule is understanding what a person's dominant personality
style is and treating him/her appropriately.
Now to get you thinking about the concept, here is a very basic breakdown:
Directors are driven by two governing needs: to control and achieve. They are
goal-oriented go-getters who are most comfortable when they are in charge of
people and situations.
Socializers are friendly and enthusiastic and like to be where the action is.
They thrive on admiration, acknowledgment, and compliments. They are idea-people
who excel at getting others excited about their vision.
Thinkers are analytical, persistent, systematic people who enjoy problem
solving. They are detail-oriented, which makes them more concerned with content
than style. Thinkers are task-oriented people who enjoy perfecting processes and
working toward tangible results.
Relaters are warm and nurturing individuals. They are the most people-oriented
of the four styles. Relaters are excellent listeners, devoted friends, and loyal
employees. They are good planners, persistent workers, and good with
follow-through.
The Platinum Rule provides powerful life-skills that will serve you well in all
your relationships: business, friends, family, spouse, and children.

YOU ARE UNIQUE
"What you see is who you'll be!" -- Denis Waitley
"There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that
envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for
better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of
good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed
on that plot of ground which is given to him to till." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but
reveal to them their own." -- Benjamin Disraeli
"You were born rich with 18 billion bountiful, beautiful, totally available and
in all probability under-used brain cells awaiting your desire, decision and
directional compass to take you onward, upward, goodward and Godward." -- Mark
Victor Hansen
ACTION
"Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep
moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit." -- Conrad Hilton

3. Your Achievement Tips -
Human Relations by Zig Ziglar
Abraham Lincoln, truly one of our greatest presidents, had a rather unique
approach in trying a case when he was a practicing attorney. He went to great
lengths to learn everything he could about what the attorney for the "other
side" would say... Then, in his arguments, Lincoln would do a superb job of
presenting the case from his opponent's side of the table... On occasion, the
attorney for the other side would make the observation that Lincoln had
presented the opposition's case better than he could have. Perhaps you wonder
why he took such an approach. First, he wanted to be fair. Second, he wanted to
win the case if he believed his client was right. Needless to say, Lincoln then
presented his own side with more fervor, facts, and reasons why his side was the
right side. By using this procedure, Lincoln completely robbed the opposition of
anything to say and built his own case in a stronger manner... He also wove in
more humor and homespun stories when he presented his case. Most people,
including jurors, like and trust those who give them cause to smile and who
bring homespun logic to the table. What Lincoln did was simple. He practiced
great human relations and used his abundant common sense. He wanted right to
prevail and when he presented his case, as a general rule, the right side did
win. Think about it. Take Lincoln's approach and I'll see you at the top!
