Give and Take

Why Helping Others Drives Our Success

2013

by Adam M. Grant

Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success by Adam M. Grant is a groundbreaking work that challenges conventional wisdom about success. Grant, a professor at Wharton Business School, introduces the concept of reciprocity styles—takers, matchers, and givers—and reveals how these styles impact our success.

In the workplace, givers, who contribute to others without expecting anything in return, can sometimes be exploited or burn out. However, Grant's research demonstrates that givers are often the most successful people in their fields. The book shows how a revolutionary approach to work, networking, and collaboration can lead to greater personal success and transform organizations and communities.

Through engaging stories and cutting-edge evidence, Grant illustrates the power of giving and how smart givers avoid becoming doormats. He also explores how successful networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation, and leadership skills are intertwined. Give and Take not only presents a new model for success but also provides insights into how to build more productive and rewarding relationships.
