What’s the secret to success in business?
Adam Grant, an Ivy League Professor released a new book in April called Give and Take.
In Give and Take, he reveals what his decade of cutting edge research proves…why some people rise to the very top of the success ladder and why others never make it not matter how hard they try.
He discusses how in life and in business we either operate as givers, takers or matchers and each style has a powerful impact on our success.
(Which means you should figure out your style and try to be more of a giver…succeeding is a goal of yours, right?!)
After being featured on the TODAY Show, The New York Times and recognized as one of Business Weeks favorite Professors he’s now a guest on Doing Good Business FM Podcast.
Give and Take
A truly exhilarating book—the rare work that will shatter your assumptions about how the world works. -Dan Pink, New York Times Bestseller
On this episode of Doing Good Business FM, I ask him to talk about giving in regards to business and how entrepreneurs can always give even when they feel burnt out.
Pay close attention to how Adam says to figure out if businesses and individuals are giving just to gain something from it or if they’re giving because others are in need. (I love his thoughts on this!)
