Adam Grant : Are you a giver or a taker?

Adam Grant at TED@IBM  (transcript)
Are you a giver or a taker?
Summary
Give and take is the practice of making mutual concessions and a usually good-natured exchange. I was taught that I have to do something for other people definitely when a person did something for me and l shouldn't expect anything when I do something for others also.

In the story, especially at workplaces, according to the speaker's research, it turned out that takers always think about what others do for them but givers are likely sacrificing. It doesn't lead teams and organizations to success and givers will stop helping and be burnout.

The speaker suggests that by weeding takers, it builds a culture of successful givers. It’ll be a better environment where can make something easier for people to ask for help, nothing is taken by takers and givers' succeed.
Furthermore, the most meaningful way to succeed is to help other people succeed.

Your success must come to you by helping other people succeed. Are you a giver?
