Give and Take | Adam Grant | Talks at Google

Adam Grant stops by the Googleplex for Leading@Google to discuss his latest work, "Give and Take." You can find it on Google Play.
From the publicist:
Give and Take changes our fundamental ideas about how to succeed-at work and in life. For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But in today's dramatically reconfigured world, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. Give and Take illuminates what effective networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation, and leadership skills have in common. goo.gl/8qqi0
Using his own groundbreaking research as the youngest tenured professor at Wharton, Grant examines the surprising forces that shape why some people rise to the top of the success ladder while others sink to the bottom. In professional interactions, it turns out that 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.
These styles have a dramatic 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.

So interesting. What make children grow into givers? The style of parenting: give children more freedom, or the parent being a giver; not being the youngest, sisters turn us in givers.

[@SamuelHauptmannvanDam]

Why does it stop in the middle on everything? :/

[@GregClowminzer]

Really enjoyed the book. Is there an assessment tool that you use or can recommend for determining whether a person is a giver or taker?

[@tkomla]

[@potugadu5160]

44:04 Regarding women being givers in close relationships and men being givers to strangers, the reason is that women, in general, are governed by stage-3 morality ("good girl" morality or ethics of care) but men can go up to stage-6 (universal ethics or ethics of justice). Stage-3 morality is selfish in the sense that you don't want to waste your good behavior on someone (e.g., a stranger) who will not have a chance to repay the behavior in future; in essence, there is an expectation of a return/reward (at least psychological, like respect) for good behavior.

[@potugadu5160]

From google translate: 44:04 La razón es que las mujeres, en general, se rigen por la moralidad de la etapa 3 (moralidad de la "buena niña" o ética de la atención), pero los hombres pueden subir a la etapa, 6 (Ética universal o ética de la justicia). La moral de la etapa 3 es egoísta en el sentido de que no desea desperdiciar su buen comportamiento en alguien (por ejemplo, extraño) que no tendrá la oportunidad de pagar el comportamiento en el futuro; En esencia, hay una expectativa de un retorno / recompensa (por lo menos psicológico, como el respeto) por el buen comportamiento.

No one at google has tattoos. And people who work at an Apple store covered in them.

[@ikolnedu4130]

Google = more nerdy, Apple = more artistic

[@AlanG100]

The genius of Adam Grant... tells you there are givers, takers and matchers, the top and bottom corporate positions are givers, he became human by pointing out to troops he knew nothing. I have to agree with them, I learned absolutely nothing.

[@jackcoltrane5532]

Alan G. He sensitizes companies to take care of their givers! But You don't want to GIVE him credit for that, do You!?!

[@ichtube]

At 30:34, I believe it would it makes more sense to say it in reverse. That, 'they've never had a real job, let alone having been a leader'. I'm pretty sure. Because the part that comes after 'let alone' must be more demanding. Do you think he messed up or he really believes that leading is easier than having a real job? I know I'm going crazy on him lolll.
