It turns out that at work most people operate as either takers matchers or givers.

Using his own pioneering research as Whartons youngest tenured professor Grant shows that these styles have a surprising 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 Americas 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 Enrons demise four years before the company collapsed--without ever looking at a single number.
