Give and Take

A Revolutionary Approach to Success

De: Adam Grant

Narrado por: Adam Sims

From the audio bestselling author of THINK AGAIN and ORIGINALS. Why givers - not takers or matchers - win big. Perfect for anyone who enjoyed QUIET or THINKING FAST AND SLOW.

The motivations behind today's most successful leaders and entrepreneurs come to a simple yet decisive explanation: there are people who give, people who take, people who match, and people who fake. Our world is filled with these givers, takers, matchers and fakers. Amazingly, those who succeed (not only personally but for their clients and companies) don't take or match. They give. (Although they're not necessarily philanthropic.)

GIVE AND TAKE presents the fascinating secrets to givers' success. The results are unequivocal: givers gain big. Jack Welch, Richard Branson, Jon Huntsman Sr. - all of them are givers. In a world in which so many takers such as Bernard Madoff and Raj Rajaratnam have ruined lives and reputations, this book will reassure readers that the real power lies in becoming a giver. Since the vast majority of people aren't born givers, Grant not only presents the case for why givers win, he also offers their hidden strategies for winning.

Thought providing

It's my second time and once again so rewarding. Brilliant book. I love the social science.

INFP Leaders

This book provides guidance for developing the future leaders of organizations.
As we move into the 4th industrial age, more empathy and grit is needed at all levels.
hopefully traits that cannot be replaced so soon by AI.

Great listen

I got a whole new opening to topics that I recently had thoughts about. The book really is an eye opener and I would recommend it to anyone who would be willing to listen

Give and Take

Great message with fantastic insights. I respect the amount of research that has gone into the book.
I find it a bit long winded, in respect of the examples given and stories told.

Enlightens how givers become great

Very interacting approach about how everyone can expand the cake and generate a win-win situation at work and life

revelation

I love Adam and his podcast. the book was important since I am in sales and often feel like takers are able to get away in the corporate world
but it seems givers own the world

Good read

Very insightful and a good read for any career. The book challenges fixed ideas, with thorough scientific evidence to back up its statements.

Entertaining and edifying

The book could only use improvement in helping people navigate sectors of the economy where takers are predominant. Otherwise, a great Reid.
