What is the Platinum Rule? The Golden Rule, Elevated To New Heights

This concept builds upon the “Golden Rule,” which we all learned at home, at Sunday School, in Kindergarten. The Golden Rule suggests treating others as you would like to be treated is the one rule you need to know about how to mirror respect.

The Platinum Rule expands on this idea, emphasizing that understanding others based on their preferences and treating them as they would like to be treated is a key part of any leadership journey to develop one’s own leadership style.

Platinum Rule Personality Types Explained

The Four Primary Personality Types Outlined As Part of The Platinum Rule Include:

  1. Director: These individuals are results-oriented, decisive, and assertive.
  2. Socializer: They are outgoing, enthusiastic, and relationship-focused.
  3. Relater: Relaters are supportive, cooperative, and prefer stability and harmony.
  4. Thinker: They are analytical, detail-oriented, and prioritize accuracy and logic.

The book delves into these personality types, providing insights on how to identify and understand these different behavioral styles. It emphasizes the importance of adapting your communication and interaction styles to suit the preferences of the person you’re dealing with.
