This book was very interesting and helped me through a difficult situation at my own work. It helped me to realize that the area that needed to change was my OWN behavior, because we can't change the other person's behavior. It dealt with how to change your communication with the person or persons you are having trouble with at your job. I enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for help dealing with difficult co-workers.

After a couple chapters, I thought this was going to be very good. But then it took a sharp turn into redundancy of very simplistic examples. The overall concept is interesting. The pair have developed yet another two-dimensional assessment of personality. Directors, Socializers, Relaters, and Thinkers are each allocated two of the four quandrants, based on their degree of directness and guardedness. (And of course, each can be further segmented to get a total of 16 styles.) Having given the requisite quiz and explained the implications, the authors go on through endless examples to teach the reader how to interpret another's style and apply the Platinum Rule. (It's not an alteration of the Golden Rule, they say, but a refinement.) I chose not to read every page in the last half, as I can pretty much predict what to do, and Hamlet and Novum Organum are sitting by my chair. The Platinum Rule is probably natural for some people and common sense to others. My only other observation regarding all of these self-test personality diagnostics is that the assessment is based on now one behaves, not how one wants to behave.… (más)
