Book: "Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success" by Adam Grant

https://www.amazon.com/Give-Take-Helping-Others-Success/dp/0143124986

Overview:

A groundbreaking look at why our interactions with others hold the key to success, from the bestselling author of Originals.

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.

In Give and Take, Adam Grant, an award-winning researcher and Wharton’s highest-rated professor, examines the surprising forces that shape why some people rise to the top of the success ladder while others sink to the bottom. Praised by social scientists, business theorists, and corporate leaders, Give and Take opens up an approach to work, interactions, and productivity that is nothing short of revolutionary.

Organizational psychologist Adam Grant TED Talk:

This thought provoking discussion will be co-facilitated by Douglas Grant, Ethos Business Advisors, and Ralph Henderson, OmniChannel Productions.

As a reminder, you don't have to read the book to attend! Most do not, and we always have a very engaging discussion!

During this roundtable we'll:
· share our own experiences in this area in our businesses
· share best practices from our own personal experience or from industry thought leaders
· share ideas on how to improve the area within our businesses to fuel growth

Note: We are looking for people to facilitate a book discussion for 2019, so please don’t hesitate to contact me if there is a book that you’re passionate about and would like to share with the group. The meetings take place the second Friday of every month. Thanks!
