Download Summary of Adam M. Grant's Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success AudioBook Free
For generations, we've focused on the average person drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and success. But today, success is progressively dependent how we interact with others. As it happens that at the job, most people operate as either takers, matchers, or givers. Whereas takers make an effort to get as much as possible from others and matchers try to trade uniformly, givers will be the rare breed of men and women who contribute to others without wanting anything in return. Using his own pioneering research as Wharton's youngest tenured professor, Adam Grant shows that these styles have a surprising impact on success. Although some givers get exploited and burn out, the rest achieve astonishing results across a variety of industries. Merging cutting-edge data with captivating stories, Give shows how one of America's best networkers developed his contacts, why the creative genius behind one of the most popular shows in tv history toiled for years in anonymity, how a basketball executive in charge of multiple draft busts altered his franchise into successful, and how exactly we could have expected Enron's demise four years prior to the company collapsed - without ever before looking at an individual number.
