Developers want excitement and sometimes jump into new adventures before thinking them through
fully. They can make demands upon people and situations in order to accomplish their goals, and
may be very direct and uncommunicative under pressure. Developers don’t always collect facts
before making a decision. Developers like to win at all costs.
Developers are opportunity creators; they possess a vision of the ‘big picture’ and can move a
project forward with great enthusiasm. When they are caught up in accomplishing the task, they may
tend to ignore the emotional side of the people involved. Developers should strive to achieve self-
control and self-discipline while cultivating their emotional side in order to be more sensitive of other’s
feelings and perceived as friendly. Risk takers, people see them as bold, confident and courageous.
Developers are great visionaries who possess the enthusiasm to make a new idea work without letting
obstacles get in the way.

The D Style and you

forcefully. Cautious and predictable environments are particularly tedious for them, and they may get
impatient if others spend a lot of time analysing ideas rather than acting on them. Individuals who
have D and I styles will have little trouble relating to their bold style.
Challenge
Furthermore, those with the D style also prioritize Challenge. Because they want to control outcomes,
they’re often questioning and independent-minded. They are unlikely to accept things they are unsure
about, and they won’t hesitate to challenge ideas that they don’t agree with.

precise, and as a result, they will often ask in-depth or sceptical questions. In their pursuit for sound

uncomfortable with quick or risky decisions and prefer to take time to make informed choices. They

Strategies to work effectively with…
“TREAT OTHERS THE WAY People generally make the mistake of assuming that
others interact and think the same way they do, and
THEY WANT TO BE TREATED.”
– DR. TONY A LESSANDRA, many of us grew up believing in The Golden Rule:
THE P LATINUM RULE treating others the way you would like to be treated.
Instead, we encourage another practical rule to live by - what Dr. Tony Alessandra calls The Platinum
®
Rule : to treat others the way THEY want to be treated. This practice requires strategic adjustment
made on a case-by-case basis, and adjusting your own behaviour to make people feel more at
ease with you and the situation is known as Adaptability.
It is important to remember that adapting our styles is not always easy! It may take some time, feel
very difficult, or seem especially foreign in certain situations. Give it time, practice, patience and
diligence and you will see relationship benefits.
What is Adaptability?
Adaptability is based on two elements: Flexibility and Aptitude. Flexibility is your Willingness and
Aptitude is your Capability to adjust your aproach or strategy based on the particular needs of the
situation or relationship at a particular time. It’s something you must cognitively choose to apply to
yourself (to your patterns, attitudes and habits), not expect from others.
