An innovative, paradigm-shifting book that will captivate readers of Malcolm Gladwell, Daniel Pink, "The Power of Habit," and "Quiet"
In his landmark book, Adam Grant illuminates how successful networking, negotiating, and leadership skills share an increasingly important factor--the Giver reciprocity style, when exchanging value with others. "Give and Take" changes our fundamental understanding of why we succeed and offers a new paradigm for our relationships with colleagues, clients, and competitors. It demolishes the "me-first" worldview and shows that the best way to get to the top is to focus not on your solo journey but on bringing others with you.
Engaging, intriguing, and filled with surprising success stories from history to Hollywood, "Give and Take" presents an approach to work, team building, productivity, and profitability that is nothing short of revolutionary. We have been taught to think that people who give without expecting anything in return are at risk of burning out or being exploited, but the truth is that they are often the most successful people in any given field.
Using his own cutting-edge research as a professor at Wharton Business School, Grant shows how helping others can lead to greater personal success; how smart givers avoid becoming doormats and why this kind of success has the power to transform not just individuals and groups, but entire organizations and communities.
