2. Adam Grant wrote the
book Give and Take to
help us understand
how the world’s most
successful people
approach the world
around them, and
how you can do the
same.
3. T A K E R S C O U N T Y O U R C O N T R I B U T I O NFor a Taker, their driving
motivation is to make
sure they get more than
they give. They count
every contribution
they make and
ensure that they
get more in
return.
4. FOR A GIVER, THEIR DRIVING
MOTIVATION IS TO GIVE
MORE THAN THEY GET. THEY
FOCUS ON WHAT OTHERS
NEED FROM THEM. GIVERS
TAKE CARE TO RECOGNIZE
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE
CONTRIBUTE. AS A RESULT,
GIVERS EARN THE RESPECT
OF THEIR COLLABORATORS.
5. Perhaps surprisingly, the top of the success food
chain is dominated by Givers. However, you’ll
also see some Givers at the bottom as well.
6. The difference between
the Givers at the top and
the bottom of the food
chain is that the
successful Givers match
their desire to help others
with ambitious goals of
their own.
7. Become that type of
Giver, and you’ll soon
find yourself at the
top of the success
food chain with the
other Givers of the
world.
