The pioneering social scientist reveals the power of helping others as key to personal success and transforming organisations, in his debut book reissued with a brand new afterword
Everybody knows that hard work, luck and talent each plays a role in our working lives. In his landmark debut, Adam Grant illuminates the importance of a fourth, increasingly critical factor - that the best way to get to the top is to bring others with you. Give and Take changes our fundamental understanding of why we succeed, offering a new model for our relationships with colleagues, clients and competitors. Using his own cutting-edge research as a professor at the Wharton School, as well as success stories from Hollywood to history, Grant shows that nice guys need not finish last. He demonstrates how smart givers avoid becoming doormats, and why this kind of success has the power to transform not just individuals and groups, but entire organisations and communities.
