Give and Take

Give and Take by organisational psychologist Adam Grant explores how people approach helping, exchanging and competing with others at work. Grant describes three broad styles—givers, takers and matchers—and considers how these different approaches can affect collaboration, relationships and professional outcomes. The book challenges the assumption that success depends only on individual talent or self-interest.

Drawing on research and examples from workplaces and other settings, Grant examines when generosity can support cooperation and when it may leave people vulnerable to being taken advantage of. He also considers how teams and organisations can create conditions that allow people to help one another without sacrificing their own needs. The book offers readers a framework for thinking about reciprocity, reputation and the long-term effects of everyday interactions.

This English-language paperback may interest readers of business, management, psychology and personal development. It is particularly relevant to people thinking about teamwork, leadership, networking and how professional relationships are built over time.
