Podcasts about take a revolutionary approach

Be mindful in all that you think and do.“When you follow a leader, consider what would lead you to withdraw your support.If the answer is nothing, your integrity is in jeopardy. Your highest loyalty belongs to principles, not people.No leader deserves unconditional love.Commitment is earned through character.”-Adam GrantGrant is the host of the WorkLife and ReThinking podcastsHe has authored several books including Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success (Viking, 2013) ISBN 9780670026555Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World (Viking, 2016) ISBN 9780525429562Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy. with Sheryl Sandberg (Knopf, 2017) ISBN 9781524732684Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know (Penguin, 2021).

As we are getting close to 100 episodes of the show, I'm feeling so reflective of the synergies and similar stories that I've heard time and time again during our guest episodes on the show. There's a couple of topics that are super important that I want to take the time to speak to because they feel like breakthroughs that empaths need to overcome in order to prosper. Specifically, I'm thinking of burnout, boundaries, and energy management. Today I want to focus on burnout because it is so worth talking about. Something I have so appreciated in hearing the stories and the journeys of some of our guests over the past two years is that their experience with burnout provided such an invaluable doorway to their success. I've found that oftentimes, the burnout experience can create a no looking back, opportunity to break through, to turn a corner, to start a new chapter, and ultimately to pave the way for success. I think that's why I've created such a beautiful, surrendered experience for myself with reaching burnout, but also being with clients when they're in their moments of burnout or breakdown. So listen to this episode to hear how you can focus your efforts to avoid giver burnout and cultivate more energy all the while prioritizing your own ambition and intentions.     Topics: Catherine's first experience with burnout while she was a student, volunteering in the Peace Corps and and working and how she's taken lessons learned from this into her coaching practice  The two types of giver burnout – physical/well-being and relationship – and being mindful of the energy and relationships you may be attracting The importance of receiving positive feedback and seeing the impact of your efforts so that you don't feel taken advantage of and exhausted as a giver The difference between "other-ish" and "selfless" givers and where to focus your efforts to avoid burnout while managing your ambition    Episode Resources: Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success by Adam Grant   Connect with Catherine: Apply to join the free Unbounded community, a vibrant group of empathpreneurs who are passionate about supporting each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.  Website LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Sign up to receive my weekly digest on empathic entrepreneurship and hear from voices committed to spreading this message, sent straight to your inbox every Friday since 2016, here.    Work with Catherine: Interested in working 1:1 with a certified coach on Catherine's team, or joining her in one of her premium mastermind programs?

For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But today, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. It turns out that at work, 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. Listen to Michael's conversation with UPenn Wharton Professor Adam Grant, he is the school's youngest professor to ever achieve tenure, is top-rated by his students, and is author of "Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success." Original air date 26 April 2013. The book was published on 9 April 2013.

Have you transcended the transactional? Host Chris Schembra's guest on this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times embodies the abundance that flows from giving without the constant expectation of receiving in return. Galen Hair, a highly successful plaintiff's attorney, speaker, author and podcaster, has built his practice around a purpose-driven approach to both law and service. The outcome? Prosperity, yes. But yet more importantly Galen and his team at Insurance Claim HQ are working for clients they believe in arguing cases with merit. They come from a place of gratitude and, as Galen explains, “I find that when you give something without expecting anything you tend to get much better stuff in return.” In this case, we're talking about the huge impacts his firm of 119 employees with more than $30 million in annual revenue is making on behalf of 10,000 clients. You'll learn how his involvement with Hurricane Katrina clean-up in New Orleans foreshadowed the meaning-infused work Galen would go on to do as an attorney representing those who have been wronged and evolving his industry's mindset through platforms such as his Level Up Claims Summit, the nation's No. 1 property casualty conference, which takes place this year on June 9th in New Orleans.

How a music teacher at his Texas public school went above and beyond to impact Galen's life artistically, emotionally and financially.Giving for the Sake of Giving: Why life can be looked at like a series of bank accounts from which we draw and replenish at any given time – and often to the benefit of all.In the Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: About Galen's intimate involvement with both the horror and generosity that rocked New Orleans – diving in with no real skill set (he'd been training as an opera singer) but a huge amount of heart.Embracing Purpose: How Galen refocused his career, creating a legal “practice with a purpose” that combined his desire to do good with an ability to earn a secure income.How to Practice Law with Integrity:Take cases that make sense for you – not your bank account.Remember that you're a lawyer, but also an individual.Take cases for people and causes in which you believe.Don't worry about the rest of it!Staying on Task: Even when building a venture feels challenging, it's easier to remain focused and disciplined when the big picture feels right.Timing and the Universe: Galen recalls how a life-changing case fell into his lap in the space of a day in which he'd suffered an acute panic attack about his firm's viability.Building Community: How Galen's Level Up Claims Summit and podcast have helped people within the legal industry connect and inspire gratitude among one another.The Proverbial Silver Lining:Remember that seemingly negative things can yield positive impacts.Recognize tools available to meet challenges today versus in the past.Use gratitude as a vehicle to leverage lessons learned.Parting Thought: Why Galen holds special admiration and gratitude for Chris, who has been there at pivotal moments to help him with the mindset he needed to adopt!The Bookkeeping of Benefits: Chris honors the act of kindness and vote of faith Galen placed in him and his company in the midst of Covid19. QUOTABLE“I came from a tumultuous family environment and one of the things that I discovered as an adult is that my family's survival was not an accident. We were really lucky to have people help us out.” (Galen ) “We're often really guilty of paying attention to our financial bank account and not the people we love or the things we have around us.” (Galen) “The good news about gratitude is that it doesn't always have to be given back. Sometimes it can be paid forward.” (Chris) “You can pump up that bank account as fat as you want it but you will not be fulfilled if what you're doing isn't bringing you some sense of purpose.” (Galen) “As a leader, take care of yourself as much as what you are building. People are what's behind the business.” (Chris) “I find that when you give something without expecting anything you tend to get much better stuff in return.” (Galen) “You have in some way, shape or form – intentionally or unintentionally – helped me adopt a mindset that was going to be necessary for what was coming next.” (Galen) “The people on your team, the people that you serve, are counting on you to lead with integrity, hope, optimism and connection. Be there for them when they need it most!” (Chris) LINKS/FURTHER RESOURCES:Bader Scott Injury Lawyers in Atlanta.More about Mike and Jessica Magill's Crisp coaching program.More about the Student Hurricane Network.Learn more or purchase tickets for this year's Level Up Claims Summit.Stoic quotes about the peril of ingratitude from Lucius Seneca.The work of gratitude researcher/author Adam Grant, featured in his book "Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success.""Lonely at the Top: The High Cost of Men's Success," by Thomas E.

What if everyone's overarching go-to-market strategy were kindness? Well, for Host Chris Schembra's guest on this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, it's a concept that has been central to building a $200 million company. CEO Sam Jacobs launched Pavilion, his membership-based leadership community, after coming to a deep understanding of something very basic: We start to gain when we learn to let go. He is sharing with us the human-centric elements that are foundational not only for successful business ventures but for successful (i.e. peaceful and meaningful) lives. Sam explains how he moved away from grasping and attachment to outcomes in favor of something more authentic expansive. You'll come away from this heart-centered conversation with a clear understanding of the interplay between how we talk to ourselves and what we offer the world; why failure can be our friend and how to take a long-term approach that replaces the transactional with ongoing connectedness, personal fulfillment and long-term business growth.Sam founded Pavilion in 2016 as a support network for revenue leaders and has since opened chapters globally, establishing a robust platform for peer-to-peer connection, training, development and career resources for all high-growth professionals. Most recently, Sam is out with a new book that will change the way you think about engaging with the marketplace, whether as a corporate employee or aspiring entrepreneur.

And click here to listen to previous episodes of Gratitude Through Hard Times. KEY TOPICS:What's a moment of adversity that you've overcome in your life or career that you're actually grateful for? After four firings from five jobs in a short period of time, Sam seized an opportunity to change his trajectory and patterns of thought/behavior.Ultimate Job Satisfaction: Knowing how to generate happiness and a sense of peace.About how high participation and low attachment correlates with a universal flow of abundance in our direction.Negotiation as a career hack (and source of protection) amidst constant turnover:Do your due diligence.Pre-negotiate your severance.Be realistic about the shifts that happen after the honeymoon phase.Sam Defines Success Based on Three Key Elements:What you're good at.What you're (truly) interested in doing.Where the market is moving.About Pavilion's evolution, based on letting go of pre-conceived notions and creating self-sustaining revenue as well as a source of kindness and light in the world.Contemplating an entrepreneurial risk? Consider what might happen when you stop giving all your best ideas (and energy) to someone else's enterprise.Sam reflects on the agility required to move with markets, keeping fluid and aligning through empathy with what's happening in real time (as Pavilion did while riding the waves of pandemic)Sam's Principles for Kindness – and Success:Thinking long-term rather than transactionally builds connection.Releasing attachment decreases neediness and increases openness to surprising outcomes.Winning every single negotiation isn't the endgame. It's about building relationships over time.Sam's Formula: How to manifest $25 million in funding and a business valued at more than $200 million by emphasizing not what's missing but the joy in what's already here!Creating the Mental Attitude to Prevail:Don't chase the dollar!Re-channel negativity (true or not) towards the big-picture goal.Change the negative narratives in your head.Retrain the Brain: Substitute affirmations and self-care for unkind mental tapes.It takes nothing from anyone else for us to be kind to ourselves! QUOTABLE“What I expected when I started my career was that as you became more and more senior you achieve some level of stability, prosperity and independence but that was not happening for me.” (Sam)“Five years ago I decided … I cared more about a feeling of being independent, believing in myself, establishing some level of stability. What I most wanted was peace.” (Sam)“Gratitude is the frequency most harmonious with abundance.” (Sam) “(Pre-negotiated severance) is not about the money, it's about reducing the level of anxiety you have when you show up to work every day.”  (Sam)“When you work for somebody else you're not even renting, you are selling – forever – your best ideas to somebody else.” (Sam)“If you can listen to what the market is telling you and try to respond and provide a solution rapidly, then you can be aligned with the market. It's a process – not a static state.” (Sam)“It increases the likelihood that wonderful serendipity will happen when I don't need anything specific to happen tomorrow.” (Sam)“I'm really good at being generous and thinking long-term … and it always has a way of coming back around.” (Chris)“I try to do the right thing and treat people well … I've left my mark on this planet and hopefully I'm only halfway done, so that's something to be proud of.” (Sam)“One of the cool things you can do in life is to not be so goal- or purpose- or destination-oriented but just give yourself the chance to do nothing, take a walk in nature with no particular aim.” (Chris) LINKS/FURTHER RESOURCES:"Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It," by Chris Voss.Click here to learn about the works of Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman. "The Long Game: How to Be a Long-Term Thinker in a Short-Term World," by Dorie Clark."Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success," by Adam M.

Are you an asker or a guesser? In 2015 while I was deep in hermit mode writing Pivot while living in a tiny studio apartment in Nolita (North of Little Italy), a friend texted: “Hey, do you mind if I crash on your couch tomorrow night?” To this day, I still feel somewhat bad about my answer . . . but every bone in my body was saying, “Yes, I mind.” I said no. Years later, I still wonder: Should I have rolled with the punches, accepted the spontaneous company, and just said yes? Today I'm sharing a framework that changed my life when I first read about it in Jocelyn Glei's book, Unsubscribe—the difference between ask culture vs. guess culture. Or, as I like to think about it, spaghetti throwers vs. spaghetti twirlers. Which one are you?

The hiring world has changed drastically for both employers and candidates, but many companies are still trying to hire the same old way and interview with the same old questions. Recruiting industry extraordinaire, Erica Seidel, founder of The Connective Good, joins host Casey Cheshire to discuss the best questions to ask candidates and the answers that tell you they're the right fit. Throughout this great conversation, Erica illuminates how to talk to recruiters, how to interview better, and why the company should be pitching the candidate and not vice-versa.   Busted Myths: It is a misperception that a recruiter's job is to help a candidate find a job. The recruiter's job is to help their client, a company, make the right decision and find the right person. For recruiters, the market has changed dramatically from a market of abundance to a market of scarcity, and the approach recruiters take should reflect that. What candidates want is different from what companies are pitching them. Candidates are looking for a company with good work, a good culture, and a good team. They also want a company that values diversity, that values marketing, and won't make them travel as much as some CEOs think they do.   Takeaways: For candidates, remember that there is no casual meeting with a recruiter. Make sure you have a clear idea of who you are and what you want to do before meeting with a recruiter. Candidates should work on developing a “From>To” story. This provides an example of how you impacted a company and helped them get from point A to point B.  Every candidate wants to work somewhere with a good culture, don't waste the recruiter's time by telling them this. Ask instead if it is a “get it right” environment or a “get it done” environment. For interviewers, it is better to have the mindset going into an interview of both parties being on the same side of the table, rather than on opposite sides which is the way it has been. Marketers specifically get stuck in the Peacemaker/Changemaker Paradox. This is when a marketer is hired to be a changemaker but they are told to do it in a diplomatic way, making it feel like they are punching jello. They're stuck between a culture focused on “taking care of survivors” and a culture focused on “advancing”. Employers are often afraid of airing out their dirty laundry during interviews, but when you make your problems known in an interview, that attracts problems solvers who want to solve those problems. Stop asking “why do you want to work here?”. A much better question to ask candidates is “What are the problems that you want to solve?” This gets you closer to understanding how that person ticks and what they can really bring to the table.   Quote of the Show: “There's no casual meeting with a recruiter” - Erica Seidel   Shout Outs: The Rare Find: How Great Talent Stands Out Book by George Anders Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success Book by Adam Grant   Links LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ericaseidel Twitter: @erica_seidel Company website: https://theconnectivegood.com/blog/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b2b-saas-marketing-talent-podcast-get-to-know-the-get/id1495008122?i=1000462552890   Ways to Tune In Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-hard-corps-marketing-show/id1338838763 Amazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/37228621-2f9c-4905-a223-1844effb49dd Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/1vVLpNI1LssMTiL6Kdsamn Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-hard-corps-marketing-show Google Podcasts: https://play.google.com/music/m/Im7mytmu2wa2mekhoeixlja5hpe?t=The_Hard_Corps_Marketing_Show YouTube: https://youtu.be/ECQDXNe-bkQ

Conscious marketers believe in providing value in all aspects of their work. Overdelivering is a part of the conscious marketer ethos. On this episode Richard and Kylie are joined by Brian Kurtz, the author of Overdeliver: Build a Business for a Lifetime Playing the Long Game in Direct Response Marketing to talk about what overdelivering means, and how to do it. As a business-to-consumer marketer Brian has been responsible for 2 billion dollars worth of product sales. He considers himself a serial direct marketer with a foundation in the “eternal truths” of direct response marketing. Hear how “paying for the stamp” helped Brian understand the power of storytelling. As he explains, in direct mail you can't do double mailings and follow-up campaigns. Therefore, you have to make sure the story is powerful and compelling to make the sale and be profitable. “An eternal marketing truth: believe your numbers. Hear how he breaks down why statistics and testing matters. To see if your story is connecting with your audience, implement testing so you can accurately understand how it's impacting your market. Richard and Brian break down mission driven marketing. Marketing is relative to who you are, your brand and how you want to show up. When he knows he can help transform someone's life, Brian explains how compelled he is to reach more people. Why settle for helping hundreds if you can reach millions? Find out how “saving lives” is a good place to start! Don't like marketing? See this part of your work in a new perspective. Hint: how can you share the mission and vision to the marketing team who can put your story and your words into marketing that aligns with you? Overdelivering means having a mindset that you will give 100% with no expectation of a return. Brian's approach to reciprocation is not what most online marketers describe, it's better. You'll appreciate the wisdom and generosity of this approach from his lifetime of giving value. Check out the resources and Brian's book with all the amazing bonuses and find out how overdelivering can work for you.

A couple of months ago, I read the book - The Plot Thickens: 8 Ways to Bring Fiction to Life by Noah Lukeman. In it, I found a comprehensive list of character traits. I asked myself, “Do my favourite characters have all these traits?”. I choose Lord John Grey from Outlander to find out. I now challenge you to pick a character or two and discover how they were brought to life. This episode focuses on the character's nationality, which is an extra trait I added to Lukeman's list.   Recommended book - Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success by Adam Grant   At StorySD.com you can: Get free eBooks (English and Portuguese) Watch/Listen all StorySD episodes Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive content Explore recommended articles, books, podcasts and videos   Other StorySD series: Series 1 - Transmedia Storytelling for Business Series 2 - Build your Business Stories Series 3 - Technology – The future is here Series 4 - Use Stories To … Series 5 - Characters Series 6 - Travel Guide for Kids Series 7 - Transmedia Storytelling Case Studies Series 8 - Story Breakdown Series 9 - Interactive Storytelling Series 10 - Stories from Scotland Series 11 - Character Case Study

If knowledge is power, knowing what we don’t know is wisdom.Now more than ever, opinions divide us. Meanwhile, our ability to effectively communicate has degraded, fueled by social media algorithms and self-selected information silos that confirm our biases, calcify our world views, and consequently drive us even further apart. As a result we suffer—individually and as a collective.According to today’s guest—an expert in opening other people’s minds—the solution lies in thinking more critically, flexibly and scientifically. It’s about arguing like you’re right but listening like you’re wrong. Bringing curiosity and nuance to charged conversations. And learning how to embrace the joy of being wrong.Meet Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist who specializes in how we can find motivation and meaning in work, and live more generous and creative lives.After graduating from Harvard magna cum laude, Adam completed his master’s degree and Ph.D. at the University of Michigan in just three years. At 28 he became Wharton’s youngest-ever tenured professor, where he has been recognized as the top-rated professor for seven straight years, named one of the world’s 10 most influential management thinkers and listed among Fortune‘s 40 under 40.One of the world’s most-cited, prolific and significant researchers in business and economics, Adam is the author of several New York Times bestselling books that have sold millions of copies and been translated into 35 languages, including Give and Take, Originals, and Option B. His books have been named among the year’s best by Amazon, Apple, the Financial Times, and The Wall Street Journal and praised by J.J. Abrams, Richard Branson, Bill and Melinda Gates, Malcolm Gladwell, Daniel Kahneman, and Malala Yousafzai. Certain to be another culture-tilting bestseller, Adam’s new book, and the focus of today’s conversation, is Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know.In addition, Adam’s TED Talks on original thinkers and givers and takers have garnered over 20 million views. And when he’s not writing, teaching, parenting, or consulting on behalf of organizations like Google, the NBA, or the Gates Foundation, he hosts WorkLife, a chart-topping TED original podcast.Equal parts fun and powerful, this conversation is about the importance and power of interpersonal and collective rethinking. We discuss strategies for engaging with others who see the world differently. And what we can learn when we lead not with argumentation but rather with curiosity and humility.In a time of entrenched polarization, Adam creates space for nuance. He teaches us to think critically and carefully. To ask questions. And to hold our views flexibly. He also offers sage advice on work in the time of COVID, when so many people’s professional ecosystems have been turned upside down. My hope is that this exchange encourages you to identify your own biases. Emboldens you to connect more meaningfully with those who see things differently. And inspires you to relish in being wrong.The visually inclined can watch our exchange on YouTube. And as always, the podcast streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.It was an honor to hold space with a luminary I have greatly respected from afar. And to make a new friend along the way.May this conversation leave you thinking more critically about your own beliefs—and more empathetically about others’.Peace + Plants,Listen, Watch & SubscribeApple Podcasts | YouTube | Spotify | Stitcher | Google PodcastsThanks to this week’s sponsors:Athletic Greens: 75 whole food sourced ingredients designed to optimize 5 key areas of health, Athletic Greens is the delicious daily habit that sets you up for a healthy future.

I denne episoden av #LØRN snakker Silvija med Senior Architect i Schibsted News Media, Jo Odland. Schibsted selger i hovedsak nyheter og journalistikk, i papirform og som nettavis. En av utfordringene i News Media er derfor at inntekter fra papiravisene forsvinner, og de digitale inntektene er foreløpig ikke store nok til å finansiere journalistikken fremover. Kan man lage fellessystemer på tvers av avisene for å dele kostnader til produktutvikling. Klarer avisene å beholde sin identitet? Jo har også vært ansvarlig for å utarbeide den første teknologistrategien i News Media, og dette vil være et av de sentrale temaene i samtalen.Dette lørner du:TeknologiStrategiInfrastrukturDigitaliseringAnbefalt litteratur:The Infinite Game by Simon SinekGive and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success by Adam M.

I'm not usually a glass-half-full kind of person, but I can't stop staring at the silver lining of the COVID-19 pandemic.  There has been an amazing demonstration of radical service to others.  Brooks Brothers and Under Armour manufactured medical masks.  New York landlords allowed tenants to skip months of rent.  Snowboarders are donating goggles to healthcare workers. Xerox is producing disposable ventilators.  That's just the tip of the iceberg.  As a nation, we've helped each other in ways we never thought possible.  We don't often know what we're capable of until we're faced with an opportunity that requires action. And it is especially in these times of crisis that we respond with the values we hold dear to us.

Give and Take A Revolutionary Approach to Success by Adam Grant Summary --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bestbookbits/support

It's not always just about you when it comes to being intentional in your career. In this episode, Angee shares ways you can amplify others -- whether in a meeting, one on one, or even on social media. With examples from Adam Grant, author of Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success, you will hear about how givers tend to gain advantages in four domains: networking, collaboration, talent development and influence. In meetings, this may mean that you give space for both introverts and extroverts to provide input and ideas. When doing a shout out on LinkedIn, you recognize teams and individuals for achieving goals, or inspire and inform others by sharing and amplifying what someone in your network has achieved. And when it comes to people who report to you, being a giver is about creating space to find potential and help those individuals build on it. If you tend to mean well but aren't consciously being a giver consistently, create the habit by including activities on your career action plan which can be found here. © 2019 Angee Linsey Visit: LinseyCareers.com Email: info@linseycareers.com @LinseyCareers on Twitter Linsey Careers on LinkedIn Produced by Podcast Prowess

 In the midst of our wider, cultural conversation about women, and power, and leadership, and power, let us pause for a moment to consider the quite curious case of gender in education.Of course, education is an historically female driven profession - for much of the last century it was, in fact, one of the few jobs a woman could even realistically perform. That history continues to influence our profession today. 76% of classroom teachers remain women. As women slowly take on larger and larger roles in industries all over this country, education sits as an - actually rather large - island. An experiment if you will, of sorts - an enormous, functioning machine -  a bureaucracy, a power structure - inhabited almost exclusively by women. The lazy among us often joke how the world would be different, how much better it would be, if it could be run by women. Well, education gives us a glimpse into what that world might actually be like.  And apparently we'd just give control over to the men?The gender inequity that exists in all other power structures in this country, continues in education. A mere 13% of superintendents are women, and surprise, they're paid demonstrably less than male superintendents, and hardly half of our administration are female. The statistics are hardly worse than the rest of the country, true, but ... isn't it just somehow even more appalling in 2018? This World War 1 factory floor filled with female workers, while the men look down hardly seems aspirational.But what, exactly, is perpetuating this inequity? In our podcast here we discuss societal messages to women leaders - Lean In, ask for a seat at the table, be assertive - and how those messages, and those leadership behaviors, may be keeping you from succeeding, in, not only a female-dominated workforce, but with male leaders used to a female dominated workforce.Listen to the podcast here or find us on iTunes and subscribe.If you're a teacher, a teacher-leader, or an aspiring teacher-leader, we'd love to hear your thoughts.Discussed in depth is Adam Grant's book Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success. His TED talk on Givers and Takers will get you thinking.

Which of these categories do you fall into: giver, taker, or matcher? I recently re-read Give and Take by psychologist and university professor, Adam Grant. The book not only provides solid evidence and examples of how givers, takers and matchers all operate in the real world. But Grant also helps us understand ourselves and think about how we can become better givers without burning out or spreading ourselves too thinly. What are Givers, Matchers, and Takers? Givers seek out ways to be helpful and give to others without any deeper agenda Matchers play “tit for tat”—they keep an eye on the social bank account and do favours for favours Takers are focussed on getting as much as they can from situations, relationships, and people If you are an introvert or highly sensitive person this is clearly going to be an issue you will think about. I have had emails from people who have lost sight of boundaries in relationships. Those who attract narcissists and energy vampires that have bled them dry and they don't know what to do. They have shut off, isolated themselves, and declared that they cannot afford to be givers any longer. According to the fascinating findings in the book Grant says that givers are the least successful people (unproductive, performed poorly in exams, made the least money etc). The takers didn't perform best either because the matchers kept them in check, essentially seeing it as their job to punish anyone who didn't give back. But matchers didn't perform best either... Givers did. Givers are the worst performers, but they're also the best performers. Grant says that being a giver can do one of two things for you…"it can sink your career, or it can accelerate it". It can make you unable to perform as well as others, to be walked all over, and to be taken advantage of…or it can be the bedrock of your success and wellbeing as a human. So how can you become a successful giver? Well that's what I explore in this week's episode of the podcast. "You can easily judge the character of a person by how he or she treats those who can do nothing for them.” - Malcolm S. Forbes. Brenda Knowles wrote an article about this subject a while back and she picked out the three things we can do if we want to be givers who are successful and happy rather than the opposite option. Spot the takers in your midst. Engage in “five-minute favours” Don't restrict your interactions to just givers Brenda says "I am a selective giver, which could be construed as a matcher, but I am not strategic about giving.” We all have to make choices. We have finite resources. The key is what drives those choices. Is it a cold and calculating sense of what you can get, or a desire to give because that's what you are compelled to do? Givers share praise. They encourage people. They say thank you and well done. They look people in the eye and smile. It doesn't cost much to extend your giver-heart. Over to You Are you a giver, taker, or matcher? Is there anything that stops you from being a giver?

Confidence is won through success. I almost think at this point conformity is the new originalityWe've known for decades that the best way to learn something is to teach itQuantity is the best path to originality BooksOriginals: How Nonconformists Move the WorldGive and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to SuccessAdam Grant is Wharton's top-rated professor and a New York Times writer on work and psychology. He has been recognized as one of the world's 25 most influential management thinkers, HR's most influential international thinkers, the world's 40 best business professors under 40, and Malcolm Gladwell's favorite thinkers. Previously, he was a record-setting advertising director, a junior Olympic springboard diver, and a professional magician. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I don't want to be afraid. But I am. I'll explain why. But first, I want to introduce you to Adam Grant. He has the solution to my problem... And maybe your problem, too. Adam is the youngest tenured and highest-ranking professor at the famed business university The Wharton School, a writer for The New York Times, and the New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success. In researching his new book, Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World, Adam met with today's most successful and innovative entrepreneurs.  Why? To get answers. "We have a ton of guidance on how to generate ideas," he says. But what about after? What do you do? Originals teaches you how to bring new ideas into the world. And really, there's no grand theory on how to be "original." But there are tricks... And Adam discovered some patterns among today's most successful entrepreneurs. He spoke to Google's co-founder, Larry Page, Warby Parker's founders and CEOs, and thought leaders like the renowned writer, Malcolm Gladwell. From Gladwell, Adam learned the most powerful technique to induce creativity. From Larry Page and the Warby Parker guys, he found a common thread. Hint: don't quit your day job. But, more on that later. I'm going to tell you the top three things to be "an original." They might surprise you.

The top three things to become "an original:" 1) Induce creativity First unlearn. Then learn... We've all internalized things we need to question. That's what adults do. We make up rules and reasons. We draw lines instead of pictures... tell "facts," not stories. But why can't we play with our food? Or stand on the counter? Kids think. Kids create. And we can get back to that too. We just have to unlearn. And then re-learn. "This comes back to our idea of broadening your experience and your knowledge," Adam says. "You need to step outside of your field in order to see what you should be challenging." Immerse yourself in new domains. Go beyond work... beyond your office... beyond the usual. Personally, I dabble in a lot of things. I play games. I write. I read. I'm involved in lots of businesses. And I recently tried stand-up comedy. "I've just pursued things I'm curious about," Adam says, "and then unexpectedly, they turn out to have bridges between them." That's the key to learning. Do something new. Do a dare of the day. It's good for your creative health.  2) Don't quit your day job (yet). Give yourself time to build your business. It worked for me. I tell why in this episode. Listen at [21:31]. And be conservative. It's one of the best ways to be original. "I was stunned actually," Adam says. He read this a "nationally represented study of American entrepreneurs." "People who did what you did, James, and kept their day job are 33% less likely to fail." 3) Propel your ideas forward Doubting your ideas can be paralyzing, so eliminate self-doubt. According to Adam, a lot of originals said, "Look, you could fail by starting a business that flops or you could fail by not starting a business at all, and I don't want to be in that second category."  Listen at [22:09] to get actionable steps to fight self-doubt.   Listen now.

I don’t want to be afraid. But I am. I’ll explain why. But first, I want to introduce you to Adam Grant. He has the solution to my problem… And maybe your problem, too. Adam is the youngest tenured and highest-ranking professor at the famed business university The Wharton School, a writer for The New York Times, and the New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success. In researching his new book, Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World, Adam met with today's most successful and innovative entrepreneurs.  Why? To get answers. “We have a ton of guidance on how to generate ideas,” he says. But what about after? What do you do? Originals teaches you how to bring new ideas into the world. And really, there’s no grand theory on how to be "original." But there are tricks… And Adam discovered some patterns among today’s most successful entrepreneurs. He spoke to Google’s co-founder, Larry Page, Warby Parker’s founders and CEOs, and thought leaders like the renowned writer, Malcolm Gladwell. From Gladwell, Adam learned the most powerful technique to induce creativity. From Larry Page and the Warby Parker guys, he found a common thread. Hint: don’t quit your day job.

A colleague asks you for feedback on a report. A LinkedIn connection requests an introduction to one of your key contacts. A recent graduate would like an informational interview. New research from Wharton management professor Adam Grant reveals that how you respond to these requests may be a decisive indicator of where you'll end up on the ladder of professional success. Grant recently spoke with Knowledge at Wharton about his findings which are explored in his new book Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success.

Can I Ask You a Favor? So let's say someone asks you for help. For a favor, let's say. What's your first reaction? Is it, "Sure! No problem! I'd love to help!" Perhaps most of us would like to think that's how we respond. Could your response vary, based on the situation? Let's modify the scenario. Let's say this person who is asking for help seems, in your mind, to have very little potential to help you in any meaningful way--now or in the future. Regardless of how you made that assessment, in economic terms, this favor would appear to have very little perceived return on investment. So, would you still help? Or would you scramble for an excuse to step away? Welcoming back Dr. Adam Grant My guest in this episode is Dr. Adam Grant. We talk about his new book released just this week entitled Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success. In this episode you'll hear Adam talk about givers, takers, and matchers, three reciprocity styles that form the basis of the book. I invite you to visit the book's website at at http://www.giveandtake.com. You can take his self-assessment on that site to learn your preferred style. Also, Adam mentions work done by Alison Fragale at University of North Carolina.
