Summary of Give and Take (Adam Grant)
Book Abstract
For generations, it has been assumed the drivers of success in business are: passion, hard work, talent and luck. But today, success is far more likely to be dependent on how well you interact with others.
At work, most people tend to operate in one of three basic styles:
Takers – those who work towards getting as much as possible from every transaction.
Matchers – who aim to even up the ledger and give only as much as they take (quid pro quo).
Givers – the rare breed who go out of their way to help others without expecting anything in return.
As surprising as it may sound, which of these three styles you adopt at work can have a far-reaching impact on how successful you ultimately become. Research has shown quite definitively that over the long haul, the giver style works best. While it is certainly true some givers get exploited and burn out, it turns out the majority of the givers achieve extraordinary results across a wide range of industries.
The lesson is simple. If you want to get ahead in life and in your career, be a giver.
Let me be clear that givers, takers, and matchers all can—and do—achieve success. But there’s something distinctive that happens when givers succeed: it spreads and cascades. When takers win, there’s usually someone else who loses. When givers win, people are rooting for them and supporting them, rather than gunning for them. Givers succeed in a way that creates a ripple effect, enhancing the success of people around them. The difference lies in how giver success creates value, instead of just claiming it.
