Give and Take

By Adam Grant

Categories: Business & Money

In Give and Take, published in 2013, Wharton professor Adam Grant argues that success depends not only on passion, hard work, talent and luck but increasingly on how we interact with other people. Grant divides people into takers, who try to get more than they give; matchers, who aim for an even exchange; and givers, who help others without expecting anything back. Drawing on research and stories, he shows why givers can end up at both the bottom and the top of the success ladder.
