Do you know who to apply “alchemy” into personal & professional relationships?

Do you know how to transform “metal” relationships into “gold” partnerships?

Discover the secrets of great leaders. Learn the different behavior styles and how to communicate with them. It makes life easier, and promotes better results in your personal and professional life.

This model highlights two important aspects of behavior: PACE & FOCUS.

 

There is no right or wrong, best or worst behavior style.

Each behavior style has its own different strengths and challenges.
Knowing how to use the strength of each behavior style is one of the most powerful tools of the best leaders in the world.

Some outdated managers still use “ The Golden Rule” in business to communicate with people.
The Golden Rule: To treat others the way you want to be treated.

Great leaders prefer to use “The Platinum Rule” in every communication to engage people and maximize results.
The Platinum Rule: To treat others the way they want to be treated.

Science and experience has shown that the “Platinum rule” is a better & more productive way to achieve better results for personal & professional relationships.

If you want to improve your communication skills and be more effective, then find out first and foremost what is your own preference of Pace and Focus, your behavior style.

	Communicator	Commander	Checker	Collaborator
Focus	People	Task	Task	People
Pace	Fast	Fast	Slow	Slow
Motto	Get appreciated	Get it done	Get it right	Get along
Pros	Great networking	Get things done	Attention to details	Prioritize relationships
Cons	can leap before looking	can lack empathy	can become perfectionist	can get along at any cost

Leaders and Managers can use “ The Alchemy of Relationships” by understanding the “chemistry” of each person’s behavior style and using its natural properties properly.

EXAMPLE of how our behavior style can HELP or HINDER our ability to communicate with others:

The goal-orientated behavior of a commander may seem rude to a collaborator.

The attention to detail behavior of a checker may seem excessive perfectionism by a communicator.

The peace-making behavior of a collaborator may seem as time wasting by a commander

The focus on relationships behavior of a communicator may seem as superficial by a checker.

 

EXERCISE YOUR ALCHEMY IN RELATIONSHIPS

When interested in improving communication with someone using the different Behavior Styles, at home or at work, ask yourself:

• Where do you fit?
• Where does your partner/peer fit?
• Where does the “difficult” person fit?
• What type of job or role best fit that person?
• How can you improve the communication with that person?
