An innovative, groundbreaking book that will captivate readers of Malcolm Gladwell, Daniel Pink, The Power of Habit, and Quiet
For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But today, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. It turns out that at work, most people operate as either takers, matchers, or givers. Whereas takers strive to get as much as possible from others and matchers aim to trade evenly, givers are the rare breed of people who contribute to others without expecting anything in return.
Using his own pioneering research as Wharton's youngest tenured professor, Grant (author of Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World) shows that these styles have a surprising impact on success. Although some givers get exploited and burn out, the rest achieve extraordinary results across a wide range of industries. Combining cutting-edge evidence with captivating stories, this landmark book shows how one of America's best networkers developed his connections, why the creative genius behind one of the most popular shows in television history toiled for years in anonymity, how a basketball executive responsible for multiple draft busts transformed his franchise into a winner, and how we could have anticipated Enron's demise four years before the company collapsed-without ever looking at a single number.
Praised by bestselling authors such as Dan Pink, Tony Hsieh, Dan Ariely, Susan Cain, Dan Gilbert, Gretchen Rubin, Bob Sutton, David Allen, Robert Cialdini, and Seth Godin-as well as senior leaders from Google, McKinsey, Merck, Estee Lauder, Nike, and NASA-Give and Take highlights what effective networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation, and leadership skills have in common. This landmark book opens up an approach to success that has the power to transform not just individuals and groups, but entire organizations and communities.
Born in 1981,Adam M. Grant is an author and a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Grant has been recognized as both the youngest tenured and most highly rated professor at the Wharton School.

1.第五章The power of powerless communication不适合女性,女性本来就够powerless了,不需要刻意再为自己的表达加一份谦逊。显然这本书默认读者是男性。女性做沟通,我觉得简里里讲的更make sense,果断点、有力点、自信点。powerless的优势女性本来就有,不需要powerless。 2...

欣赏Adam做的这个giver和taker的研究,将现实的问题从学术的角度进行解构和分析,让人觉得很有意思。我确实也好奇在现实中吃亏为多的giver能否在学术角度被拯救。阅读起来稍稍吃力,不知道是不是已经不习惯学术的思路。故事又多又杂,并且总是半段半段讲。当你看到第5章发现完全记不得里面讲的主人公在第一章里发生了什么的时候,真心好沮丧。
