Summary of Adam Grant's Give and Take

Get the Summary of Adam Grant's Give and Take in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: 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.
