Whether it’s to collaborate, innovate, be understood, negotiate, and/or just get along with others, effective communication skills are key. Schools teach the “3 r’s” and give communication short shrift.
A solid maxim, yet one that often backfires. We are not all the same, nor do we want the same things. Thus, Tony’s Platinum Rule, “do unto others as they would like to be done unto,” reframes communication.
Tony’s communication advice can help one solve conflict, build more effective teams and foster stronger relationships. Join us to learn more about communication skills, how we are similar and different, and how we can use the Platinum Rule to build relationships, personally and professionally.
According to research we can differentiate various styles of communicating into four quadrants:
- Directors tend to be more forceful and up front and want people to get to the bottom line. They like being in charge.
- Socializers want to be center stage. They excel at conversation- sometimes too much so.
- Relators are about relationships, slow to warm up, and loyal. They like a relaxed pace.
- Thinkers are analytical, precise and like data- neatly presented.
We are a combination of all of these styles, yet we have a primary preference, and if we are going to be more effective in getting results, the Platinum Rule counsels us to communicate to that person’s preference. Easier said than done- as a Director myself- as is Dennis, the host of McCuistion, our style is sometimes too direct!
